  • Not directly.

    The new lesion should always be investigated. 

    What have your doctor 's recommended as a result of the MRI?

  • I have been on to them they offered me a telephone appointment 25th may to which I said not happy my 3rd bout of cancer don’t know what to do now 

  • Thank you.

    I am a bit stuck on knowing what to say, because there is not a full profile for you.

    You can find instructions on how to do that here -  How do I edit my profile? 

    If you put in your history from the start of your illness there are many people who might have a similar experience and can help.

  • Hello  

    Thank you for the history of your journey.

    I think in the circumstances - this is your 3rd cancer diagnosis - you need a face to face appointment to discuss where you are and what help/treatment paths are open to you.

    I would be calling the hospital tomorrow to change the appointment - tell them of your history and anxiety. If you don't have any help from them contact the hospital PALS office (Patient Advice and Liaison Service). Ask them to arrange a face to face for you.

    Best wishes - Brian.
