Hi
i am hoping for a bit of advice from others experience. I have had oesophageal cancer and finished treatment March last year. On my annual check up nodules in my lungs were found and enlarged lymph nodes. I have had a pet scan which showed hot lymph nodes in my chest and shoulder. I had a meeting with the consultant who told me the cancer had returned and was not curable so we would be looking at containment, he has written the referral to the oncologist on this basis. He did however refer me for a biopsy. Last week I went for a lung ultrasound and biopsy. The doctor who did the scan said he couldn’t see anything abnormal and didn’t do a biopsy he did do a flush test.
My question is has anyone else had this? I don’t know if this means I may not have cancer now and the original assumption of cancer was wrong or if it’s just early stages and not showing to the specialists carrying out the lung scan. It’s hard not knowing if I should be optimistic or not.
thank you
Hi JacPop
I can't help with your questions, not having had this type of cancer, but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list and hopefully it'll be seen by forum members who have had a similar experience.
You might also want to post this in the oesophageal forum group, which I can see you're a member of, in order to connect with others who've got the same primary cancer as you.
I hope that the lymph nodes don't show cancer after your recent scan.
