first scan today

first scan today hi , i have my first ct scan at 330pm today to see if the andriomicin is working . i have had 3 doses now and all my liver enzymes tests have dropped and my tumour marker after the forst dose , i know this should mean its responding but im still so nervous , esp in the tunnel wondering what they can see . there is not a day goes by when i dont think of my future with my husband and 4 children , i need to be here for all of them . i wont get my results until tuesday ,and my hubby is taking me to a hotel by the sea for my birthday saturday until sunday , so i really need to chill .
its only been 11 weeks since secondary dx so i guess after this scan i will feel better i hope and more positive .
thank goodness for this place , will be back later xxx
love to all Tracyxxx

Good Luck… …with your scan Tracy. I’m afraid it doesn’t ever really become easier, waiting for results, it is just a horrid time. I do try not to think about them too much these days as there is no point in worrying about what you can’t change. This is easier said than done, I know. A weekend away should make things a bit easier for you to take your mind off things. Hope you have a lovely time and a great birthday.

Best wishes Hope all goes well with scan - I echo Jennys thoughts - the waiting never gets any easier but try to use the weekend to take your mind off things. Enjoy your Birthday - the weathers supposed to be great too.
Best wishes

Hi there Tracy
If its any help to you to know that I have had BC+ liver mets for over 5 yrs now . So YES there is hope - even if I too still get up tight when I have to see the specialist each time .
There are always good and bad times but do try and have a good weekend away it will build up your strength. And talk to your hubby about everything so he knows exactly what you feel. Even if you do have to admit that sometimes you dont even understand yourself .
Keep in touch we are all here for you
Luv jANE

Hi Tracy,

Waiting is so awful and the medics don’t appreciate how hard it is. I am a little more relaxed now as I try and remind myself I have no control over it all (wish I did) and that I’m the same person who goes in as who comes out the appointment - I’ve not changed, my illness hasn’t changed I just have more info and more info is good as it means things can be address if required.

It’s also very hard to trust your body for a while but how you feel is usually a good indicator.

Have a lovely weekend away, keep busy and good luck for Tuesday.

Love Twinkle xoxo
