Two weeks ago I got Diagnosed with Endomentrical Cancer Grade 2 cell. I was then referred for an MRI to determine the spread & line of Treatment to be taken. I had to wait two weeks for the MRI which was soul destroying but i kept my big girl pants on & kept myself busy to get through it. Today I was actually excited about my MRI as i knew no matter what the outcome was at least the treatment could be put in place. I arrived at the MRI and was asked did i know the make & model of the Gastric Band that I had put in a few years ago. Unfortunately it was not something i knew offhand and I had to come home to get the information. To say I was gutted was an understatement. I have now passed the Hospital the information and I am patiently waiting on another MRI appt. I have been full of positivity since my diagnoses but today I just feel that this has shattered me. Endless waiting & waiting and feeling like my body is a ticking time bomb is so tough
Hi Gi Gi
I can understand how frustrating it must have been to have this happen. I wonder if the gastric band info was to confirm the make and model to make sure there was nothing in it that could affect the MRI/safety.
I hope that you get another appointment through very soon and get a plan for treatment underway. I remember the waiting well and it does seem such a long time. I know I just wanted to get on with any surgery to remove the cancer.
Do give the Support Line a call if you feel like talking it through would help. The number is below.
