Hi everyone, hope you're all managing to cope at this very strange and scary time. I was just wondering if anyone is still getting their checkup scans done? Or are they being cancelled? Thanks in advance and take care all of you! Sparky2 xxxxx

  • Hi @sparky2,

    Janice's next appointment is not until 11th May but at the moment my expectation of it happening is low.

    Hope you are keeping safe and can get the things you need.

  • Hi Steve, Thanks for replying, yeah I'm not very hopeful either. While I am very anxious, I am really happy that other people will get my lovely team's attention and that patients with respiratory problems will get all the CT and MRI scans they need. At least I know my anxiety will lessen later on. Keep well Steve, Janice and your family love and virtual hugs Sparky2  x

    Hi Worrying times for everyone at the moment.  I'm staying at home (Luckier than most) and only trips out are for chemo and bloods. I was due to have a scan mid April and I've had a letter saying it's postponed. My lovely oncologist called earlier to confirm my next chemo and apologised. How they are dealing with all this in top of their already overloaded workload I have no idea. Sending you all the best.

  • Absolutely Gunnersgal! They are amazing even without this virus, just coping with such high demand on a day to day basis before this all started! Well I was waiting to be given appointments for a scan and with the pain clinic. I am going to have to find ways to cope on my own I suppose as even the lovely outreach teams have been pulled back onto the wards. I just hope the staff can keep themselves and their own families safe. Good luck and hugs to all xx
