Hi all, my latest drama while still waiting for surgery. I had the dota scan on 30th july, so am waiting for pre-op then surgery. I have now been told the specialist centre in Birmingham want me to have an mri on my liver and a ultrasound scan on my thyroid. Ive been told the thyroid scan is nothing to do with the cancer and the mri on my liver is to use as a base line (comparison) for future scans. Just really panicking. Is this normal to have so many scans? I was told on diagnosis in april that i am stage one.
Yes i did, but they only managed to get 2, as my blood pressure went dangerously high and had to abort the procedure.
Did they sedate you for biopsy or was it under general anaesthetic.
I was sedated for the procedure. It was touch and go whether they did it, ad was already high. Im now on BP tablets to keep it down.
All I know i have a NET on my.right lung. Its 2.5cm, stage.1, and in 1 lymph.node. i dont know if its A topical or topical.
I was diagnosed with rectal NET following colonoscopy which was an incidental finding. Had PETdotatate, and PET FGD and an MRI. Awaiting for oncology appointment this Thursday
I had a colonoscopy 2 years ago and had 3 polyps removed, they were clear though. I have IBD. I wish you all the best for your appointment on thursday. Sending you hugs
It’s very positive that they caught it early. Best wishes to you and stay strong.
They took 5 polyps with colonoscopy and 1 out of 5 turn out to be rectal NET. It’s stage 2, possible higher. I’m so looking forward to hear from The oncologist this Thursday regarding the PETscan and MRI results but feeling so worried as well. They were suspecting that it might have affected the liver.
Thank you. It’s so hard to stay strong not knowing the prognosis. I started off with a gastric bleed in May, then a positive FIT in June which prompted the colonoscopy. I struggle from the overwhelming fatigue.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
