Hi All not a bad  name for a book , film or whatever But a complete pig sometimes to go through. We have all gone through it in some form or other. My early experiences use to be waiting on my school report every yea, As normally  I did terrible guaranteed ever year. Time has moved on now for more serious things unfortunately. My last recollection a few years back was phoning my locally surgery on a Friday  only to be told that the doctor wanted to see me on Monday, Needless to say  the mind was working overtime that weekend for a bit before the drink and drugs kicked in. Well on Monday I saw the doctor and all he said was my results were clear and that he thought he should tell me in person.Thanks Doc lol main thing its clear so I will shut up moaning. Well today I contacted my head & neck nurse about my results for my MRI and PET scan. Thankfully she told me that an appointment had been made for me this Wednesday  to see the consultant as opposed to next Wednesday so just as well I rang then otherwise I might have missed it . Well I asked her if she could tell me the results and she said No as she may give me the wrong information which is fair enough and professional. She did tell me that I was discussed at the MDT meeting which I dont know is good or bad but she said to me not to worry . I told her it easy for her to say that . I told her I was given my results over the phone that I had cancer. She told me that shouldn't have happened but I had had numerous tests scans with no communication whatsoever. I told her to keep that conversation to ourselves . Well I suppose on an up note I only have  X amount of hours before I  know if I am cancer free or not . Good Luck and All the Best to Everyone else  in the waiting game .Thanks Regards Minmax 

  • Got my fingers crossed for you I also was told I had cancer over the phone doctor ask if I was at home and was someone there with my said don't want me coming into surgery because of covid. But that's behind us good luck for Wednesday you've smash it we done the hard work x

  • Thanks Lou lou 59 Yes its not very nice been told over the phone , I was actually working in a customers house and the nurse read out the technical term which I scribbled down on a bit of newspaper , Bad news day lol.  Just as well I phoned my nurse as my appointment was for the 18th of August . I know they discuss cases at the meeting but it does make the mind wonder well if I was clear why would they discuss me. Sod all I can do for now , what will be will be. All the best Regards Minmax  

  • Hi Lou lou I saw the consultant yesterday and got the all clear Thank God , he wants me back in 3 months time for a ultra sound  to check the lymph nodes . So I am over the moon All i got to do now is try to fix or end my 30 years plus relationship. I did say to my son in jest that dealing with cancer was easier than dealing with his mother lol . All the Best Regards Minmax

  • Hi its all been along journey take time to think and talk through. Please mind your emotions are all over the place, before cancer you not really understand the emotional side of it. I am pleased for your results and wishing you all the best whatever you decide Grinning 

  • Thanks Lou lou  yes indeed  having a few heart attacks last January didn't help either lol . I am trying to turn all these illnesses into a positive thing which has given me a new outlook on life which I am loving . I am 59 years of age and having a serious rethink about life etc in general . All the Best Thanks Regards Minmax
