Update Tim(wanna play guitar)

Hi Tim. I remember it being very ‘two steps forwards and one step back’ around this stage but it was slowly improving nonetheless. In a few weeks you’ll likely feel a lot better so don’t be too despondent. I’m at 16 weeks now and feeling pretty good, albeit a little anxious about a MRI scan scheduled for Monday which I wasn’t expecting! 

Hi Mark 

Are  they doing MRI instead of PET/CT?

Hi Tim. Maybes you’ve answered your own question possible you’ve overdone ur. You are still in recovery and your bodies telling you so. So dust yourself down and next week maybe pace a little slower. 2 steps forward and one step back maybe your mantra for a while but you’ll get there it’s early days although you might not think so. 
onwards n upwards yoyr eureka moment will happen. Ps bread is one of the hardest things plus chicken. But you will get there.

Hi Tim,

Good to read the update, sorry you are having a down moment.  I'm going with everything Hazel said re maybe doing too much and listening to your body!

Don't apologize for 'negativity' though.  I think this is a great place to be completely honest.  I think it's very easy to find yourself saying just what you know people want to hear, and that's not always the reality of it as we all know!  It's like a post I read about people always telling you to be positive like that will cure you!  Yes, maybe it helps, but as Dani once put - glass half full people get cured too!!

Dani and Hazel, yes it’s MRI. I’m a bit confused as to why as my surgical team said I wouldn’t have anything. That said my oncologist has organised this so maybe they don’t communicate much? 

Hi Tim it sounds like you are doing really well . I am 3 months now since treatment and am still not back to normal. Things move slowly and you cannot rush nature . I was suppose to be having pet scan this week but no one booked it  and seeing consultant next week which has been cancelled. All the Best Regards Min 

Hi Mark, thanks for rally call it’s very welcome! Please keep us all updated on MRI scan. I would check with Macmillan as it may be routine at 16 weeks.

Best wishes. Tim

Hi Mark just got updated with your last post just now. My Oncologist has ordered an MRI in June, 15 weeks after treatment end! I knew I would be getting this scan so, as you say, it sounds like miscommunication.

Keep us posted. Tim

Hi Min! Thanks for reply and rally call. I think we all get somewhat impatient as regards our health! As you say Mother Nature is powerful but slower moving. 
Keep us posted on your scan and interview please.

Best wishes. Tim
