Well I finally got my histology yesterday after waiting 3 months it's T1b grade 2 although she mentioned there was some necrosis which they don't like to see , i 'll have a scan on January 6 month scan then yearly after that which doesn't seem very often but maybe it's because I'm over 60?
Well done on finally getting your histology results
The amount of time between scans has not got anything to do with your age, but more to do with the staging/grade of your cancer.
Thank you buttercup01 that's so reassuring it's just that someone who has the same results as me only he's grade 3 and only 40 has scans 3 monthly so I thought maybe an age thing x
Meaning that they think so much radiation isn't good for someone older x
After my op I had six monthly for two years but I was PT3a grade 3 - so a considerably different histology - so not even 3 monthly and I was 44 at the time.
I have them 3 monthly now that I'm stage 4.
Your results sounds pretty positive - I'd be taking much hope from them
Hi jo300 I've just read your story and you've been through so much from such a small tumour your a strong and brave lady ,I am so glad you are stable and in spite of everything enjoying life and will continue to x
Ahh thank you Carol
I was just a bit unlucky with the positioning of it, not quite central so it had started to spread in to the fat. They thought they had a good margin but it must have already been travelling.
Lots of luck to you with your continued recovery
Thank you jo and good luck and best wishes to you x
