Hello Again everyone. We are still in the waiting game of hearing any results from my husband CT scan of kidney end of Jan. He was told after the scan that they needed to do an MIR scan of his spine which has petrified us both as we are now thinking cancer has spread to his spine. Has anyone else had this after a kidney scan? His original consultation had been put back till 20th March so we still have 4 weeks to find out any results, although iam going to try and get this brought forward. Sorry if none of this makes sense, are stress levels and anxiety are through the roof and we are as iam sure many of you can relate to terrified of the results. Hope everyone else is getting the answers and support they need and strengthen to fight their fight xx
Hi, i would try and not worry about the scan which is easier said than done for some. when i went in i had my ct scans then later the dr said he had booked me in for a brain scan too, was done as a just incase, which could be what their doing with your husband, you can always ring and ask the consultant why the spinal scan is being done, im the type that sees no news as good news and my partner didnt like that as she was worried sick and i didnt let it bother me, i told her ill worry when they give me something to worry about, im lucky as i dont get anxiety so its difficult to put myself in your position, everybody reacts differently, maybe my brain is broken lol
Theres lots of lovely people here that you can ask questions and talk to, they helped me.
Hi Simon12345
Thank you for taking the time to respond. It sounds like you have a great attitude to all that you are going through. My husband believes what will be will be but it doesn't stop the worry especially about how we are going to tell our little ones and make everything as normal as possible for them.
Yes, they normally have a meeting on weds so we will ring on thurs to see if his scan has been reviewed and what's happening and will do best to get consultation moved forward another 4 weeks to hear any results form any of the scans seems crazy!
I hope that you have received the treatment you need to help you on the road of recovery.
