I am petrified my cancer has spread further. I am about to have round 3 of 6 chemo, this means mid treatment checks. I've had a 'bulge' near my belly button for a while...it's 4am and I am now full of complete panic that it is a terrible sign. Could it be distended womb??? Or am I kidding myself? My diagnosis is grade 3, stage 4 with extensive spread in pevic area and traces in my lungs. I have no idea if my lumpy abdomen is spread, but that should have been detected with full body CT in Oct/Nov??? So scared! Could this be something else? I don't have mid chemo CT until 31st with results on 8th. has anybody else had this?
Have you got a cancer nurse specialist you can call? They may be able to access your notes and reassure you? The nurses that looked after me were lovely when I needed them. Just a thought as it is horrible when you get that panicky feeling
Hi JB2022 Why not give your Oncologist's secretary a call and explain the anxiety you're going through. Also call your CNS for reasurrance. I would assume your scan would have shown something so give your team a call'

That's brilliant- I think it's better to talk to them than sit and worry. I have found with my journey the slightest niggle I always think the worst. Take care
