Hi all, not sure if best place for this post? I was diagnosed 3 years ago and was due my bi-annual onc appointment in September, that was cancelled and a new one made for November, that was also cancelled and the subsequent one too!
I sent a worried email to my oncologist and his secretary. Suddenly I had a call from hospital for an appointment a few days later for bone scan. Then a call from onc saying he’ll sort things out - blood test and CT scan all organised for last week and an appointment to see him on 29th!
In his letter which arrived yesterday he mentioned a CT scan I had in September whilst recovering from DIEP - I was having trouble with lungs so they did a thoracic scan. The scan showed lungs were ok, but a lesion on my spine concerns him and he wants a full check up after discussion at MDT meeting.
It’s worrying that if I hadn’t chased him how long would it have taken for him to look at the scan? And the level of his concern and actions is making me very anxious. My original diagnosis was 2 invasive grade 3 tumours measuring 8cm and 2cm with spread to 26 lymph nodes. I had mx chemo and rads but I’m guessing there’s a high possibility of mets.
