Hi all just a quick update .. had my scan results and meeting with my specialist on Monday … and got the all clear on my Petscan and MRI , so relieved to be able to to report this
It was so odd sitting outside the door waiting to go in to find out your fate … I had felt fine all week before and then morning of results was very nervous . I have felt strangely odd since then , not the joy I had anticipated feeling … perhaps my brain is still traumatised by the what ifs …and the next scan in 3 months .. like it is always looming in the background. My husband felt the same so we decided to take ourselves off for a day out to Sandringham then a meal in Cambridge to get our happy moods back .. it did the trick and I feel much better now. I suppose it’s the shock and our new normal around scan time.
I hope everyone is doing well x

Hi Helen, great news
I felt the same. I had a hiccup with my PET but biopsy results afterwards were good. I sat in the consultant's office to get the results. Both the oncologist and surgeon tasked with my care were there along with my CNS .... all smiles ..... Husband and I sat in the car in silence all the way home and I took myself off for a walk across our fields to clear my head and sit with the bees.
Strange, isn't it? Lots of people seem to feel like that
