My husband has an appointment tomorrow to discuss pet scan results ( I think) the appointment was made 3 days before his actual Pet Scan, he had that on Fri 7th at Marsden Sutton.
Hes anxiety is through the roof, as on Thurs 6th Feb he had his yearly Endocrinologist check up & the first thing the doc said was " I see we're looking at cancer". Dont know why he said it, he said it in a matter of fact way.
Both of us feel like we're living in a nightmare, every ache/pain he gets hes thinking cancer. Hes had arthritis in all joints & knee surgery. But now any pain hes thinking the worst.
We both havent eaten well since this hell started.
TBH neither of us have spoken to a doctor ( apart from GP who ordered a routine chest x ray ) its just esculated from scan to scan & only had brief calls over the phone with the St Helier cancer hub 2 week referral, who seem to be making the appointments. I think it was a nurse who told me about the 5cm lung lesion/inflamed lymph node & tests that would follow. The MRI head scan was postponed before he had the pet scan, no idea why & I couldnt find out the reason, not sure if its a good thing or a bad thing that being postponed?
We havent slept or eaten properly since this started. My GP as given me diazepam & sleeping tablets, but they dont seem to be working & my husband is taking mirtazapine, but again hes not sleeping.
We're both a mess.....sorry for long post....just so scared
