So, after 2 weeks back in hospital for acute dehydration, dangerously low levels of potassium and magnesium and to have RIG refitted (that's another story)! I received an appointment for MRI scan on my liver. No warning, totally out of the blue ever since I have been totally freaking out! I have had a scan in July they saw something on the liver but didn't feel it needed close examination. Now they tell me because I've cancer treatment and obviously a diagnosis I have to have this done. I completed RT and Chemo at the start of October. I am so frightened and its making everything else so much worse Has anybody else had experience of this happening. Any advice?
My eating is also causing me a massive issue. I still cannot bring myself to eat. It's a mixture of uncomfortable throat (I have throat cancer), lack of taste, texture and a real reluctance to eat plus I simply do not have an appetite. After even minimal eating (say just a small amount of soup) I feel so sick and that puts me off trying next time. I feel very low at the moment because I do not feel as though anything is getting better. I am under the SALT team, and I am paying to see a Kinesiologist plus Counselling with MacMillan. I am trying to do do all of the right things. I have this liver MRI on the 5th of December and then the 3-month Head and Neck MRI on the 26th of December! I can't bear MRI scans, but I do have a very good Macmillan nurse and she is helping me with that.!!!!!! Id saet Xmas as a real milestone and now I am not going to achieve what I was hoping to plus its fast approaching the 1st anniversary of my mums death so all in all not the best of times!
Thank you.
