I had radiotherapy and chemo for 6 weeks 5 days a week I finished on 7th April I know you have to wait 6 months for a pet scan which I have had now waiting for oncologist to see me on 19th Nov it's an awful waiting game I am scared as I carnt have immunotherapy and they cannot operate any suggestions to make me feel a bit more positive as my mind is working overtime at the moment I am taking 50 mls of oxycodon 12 hourly I know everybody's journey can be different just don't want to pass in pain if that's my future
Hi' Sue, Raymond here,
Yes the waiting game, we've all been through it. I don't know if it helps but I had a large bowel one 80mm in 03. Then it came back in my lung last year. But I am feeling fine now and more or less back to my normal self. There's no reason why you shouldn't be the same but it does take time.
