So I'm due my CT scan, can't do 3 monthly MRIs due to claustrophobia. Nearly 2 years post op and feeling stressed. Best friend diagnosed recently with Breast Cancer in last couple of weeks and dealing with this is tough. She and I are fighters, but tonight I'm feeling fragile, hopefully tomorrow I'm.back to kicking it. Is anyone else feeling this? Drink poured, thankfully hubby is here, texting friend, ..... but feeling alone x
Hi krazychrissie,
Hoping your stress levels have come down and you got through your latest scans OK.
I recall that when I joined this group you were about 6 months into your journey.
I am due the 5th of my 3 monthly tests next week and this is the first time I have felt so negative about them however after reading about your 'wobble' and your friends recent breast cancer diagnosis I am now convinced that our state of mind is emotion driven. I lost my father unexpectedly on 28th January just 5 mths after losing mum so my mind is not in the right place anyway. Like you, I am hoping I am on top of things by next Tuesday.
Positivity is definitely the way forward, just got to deal with the bumps along the way.
Much love x
Thank you for replying.
So sorry you lost both parents so close, such a difficult time - sending a virtual hug.
I am back to hospital tomorrow for my 3 month review and scan date TBC, I think the 2 weeks before each review are horrible, emotions all over the place and being perimenopausal doesn't help!
Fingers crossed your review goes well, I agree our state of mind is emotionally driven... let get through this one and we can laugh, smile and be happy.... for another 10 weeks .
Live and hugs xx
Well I managed to pick myself up and attended my appointment today with a smile on my face and a spring in my step.
My consultant has no concerns but obviously now need to wait for CT scan result. Sounds like I'm quite fortunate with my team, as I get 3 monthly reviews and scans done on the same day.
Hoping your appointment went well and you are also back in a positive frame of mind.
Much love x
Hi Clioparrot
Glad you had are in a happier place. I am too, they are hopefully moving me to 6 monthly checks as no reoccurrence of the LMS in where i had surgery. However this depends on my scan as they are watching 2 areas in my lungs (no change for last year, but need to make sure no change this year or I'll be having to start treatment) I'm staying positive until I get my results back
Wish I could have an appointment together, would be much more helpful!
Love and hugs xx
