Hi all, firstly I want to thank each and every one of you for helping me get through the last 8 days, without you I would have been a wreck. It’s good news I had a really extensive examination and camera down throat, “no cancer visible” said the consultant. He is taking me off the urgent list, but wants me to have a scan in January just to confirm. I will recommend without doubt to anyone finding themselves in similar situation to me to join the forum as being with you helped me, I will never forget you all for being there for me. I hope you all have a good Xmas and keep safe. Regards Jenny xxx
Jenny that us wonderful news. We tell so many people on the cancer pathway that most referrals are NOT cancer. So thanks so much for your post. It gives so many hope when they are in despair. Have a wonderful lovely Christmas and forget the scan till then. Xxxxx

Great news! We don't often get posts like this because I suppose (understandably) people who are told they don't have cancer want to forget about the whole experience asap, thanks for taking the time and enjoy your Christmas.

Hi Jenny brill news thank you for letting us know. Hopefully no one you know will ever need us but we are here if they do. Enjoy Christmas sending best wishes.
It’s a frightening time but the majority of referrals aren’t cancer so carry on living your life.
