So bone scan is fine. CT scan showed what they already knew about. There’s a lymph node under my breast bone that looks inflamed so they want me to go for a PET scan (don’t know what that is) just to look at that. But good news is no cancer spread so still very curable.
I feel about 10 stone lighter coming out of the hospital today.

Woohoo fab news Cassie. Moving forward ? Xx

Oh that is good news and generally with the PET scan they are making sure that they have checked everything.
Bet you are flying tonight

Yay!! So pleased for you, Cassie & the PET scan will ensure everything is sorted out for you.

Cassie, I am so pleased that you’ve also received good news about your scans. Waiting for results is just the worst thing isn’t it. As regards the lymph node, my consultant said I’d got one that looks a little bit suspect, but they will keep an eye on it and the chemo will zap it anyway, so I imagine the same would be for yours and it’s not a problem.
Sending you a big hug xx
Brilliant! Onwards and upwards…xx
The waiting is awful Jencat. I said this to the doctor today and he apologised for me having to have another scan. But I’m ok with it. Whether this lymph node is positive for cancer or not it doesn’t really make a difference to me they are going to do the same treatment they may just use different drugs. The chemo will sort the lymph node and if not the rads will finish it off. I feel like I’m getting somewhere now. I’m no longer worried about the cancer itself just eager to get rid of it.
Thank you all for you good wishes I imagined you were all there with me when I went in for moral support.
Love you all xx

Brilliant news. Now to get mended.xxx
Brilliant news, Cassie!!! Wow, I may be a bit behind on reading the threads but it seems like everyone who’s been waiting for scan results this week has been all clear. Love reading happy news xxx
That is great news Cassie. Such a huge relief. Delighted for you xx
Great news ?
Well done you. So happy for you Cassie. Xxx
Cassie sorry I didn’t respon yesterday but just got my phone back and looked for your post x yay ? big hugs ? xxxx
Great to hear from you SueW I was waiting for your post too to see how your surgery went. All well I see which is great.
Have become slightly confused today as yesterday i was told I needed to have the PET scan then results and then oncology. But an oncology appointment arrived in the post this morning for next Thursday. Haven’t had a call with the PET scan appointment yet. Have left a voicemail for the breast care nurses to see if they can clarify whether to attend this appointment or put it off until after the scan results.

Hopefully you will get some clarification x I am constantly ringing my nurses as my appointments are between 3 different hospitals and I am paranoid I will end up at the right time but wrong hospital xx
Hi Jencat. I was just so relieved. I think i glided put of the hospital afterwards. Like you I had convinced myself that it had spread somewhere. But the news was that it hasn’t. I don’t think I’ve stopped grinning since.
I just feel like I can stop the stressing about the cancer itself as I know it’s still curable. I can now focus on getting rid of it.
It’s annoying I have to have another scan and I have to go into Sheffield for it. Which is a pain in the arse. But at least if the doctors are happy to wait a little longer to start treatment then it’s nothing really urgent and it’ll be ok.
Not heard back from nurses or for PET scan yet. Hopefully they’ll ring me soon.
What’s your next step Jencat?
It’s weird how our mind set changes at the beginning it was oh no I got rads then it was ? I got chemo but now it is fantastic no spread and I have only got chemo and rads to get through and then it’s tablets x
Exactly Sue. I saw some friends this morning and was telling them i’m starting chemo in 2 weeks - as if it was just one of those things and a normal conversation!!! But one of them is Nogerian and had a gorgeous headpiece on and I - THE most unlikely person ever to wear anythong fancy, let alone a hat- was thinking ooh i might get one of those!! Mad xxx
Nigerian even ??
I actually love my wigs thought I would come out of shop upset because I couldn’t find anything but ended up with 2 because I couldn’t choose between them. My sister brave the shave page now has 640 and she has got 327 on handwritten sponsor sheet so a thousand pound is very much in sitght for us x we have had donations from her friends.
