Scan date

Hi Turi - hold onto the fact that there is a very much better chance of cure than of not.  There is a lot of evidence that supports what your doctors are saying, so they are not just giving you false hope.  It is going to be tough, especially on your own, but this group is fantastic for supporting each other.  We have your back!

Thanks Peter for your reply.

Hi Turi I know lots who were late diagnosed and t4. What you're feeling is a blip you've come this far so big girl knickers on and best foot  forward.

Thanks Hazel you always make me smile.

Pleased to be of service. Not putting a downer just be aware sometimes hot spots show on the scans not saying yours will but they can do. It’s not unusual am only  making yiu aware. What happens is they’ll either re scan in a few months or do a biopsy.  Am sure Dani won’t mind me saying hers showed an hot spot.. sending hugs Hazel xx

Yes she did. Sorry Turi 

Yes Hazel is right. My scan lit up and the recommended course of action was to biopsy. Hot spots are really common and very rarely indicate treatment failure. 
My oncologist tells me that they would prefer to scan at six months 

Hi Dani

I had scan on the 4th of March.I said at the time to the radiographer I was still sore and it felt pretty inflamed.She said as long as it was 3 months since end of treatment they were happy.Can the people that read the scans tell the difference between real/false hotspots ?

Turi

Sorry I worded first post wrong not waiting for scan date waiting for results
