SCANXIETY!!

Hello everyone,

 

Just wanted to share some good news. Saw my onc today and still a stable mabel. He also said that he is going to move me to four- rather than three-monthly scans so that will be one less round of scanxiety a year.

 

Pizza’s in the oven and the prosecco is in the fridge!

 

Good luck to everyone else who is waiting for results,

 

Marion

 

 

Fantastic news Marion…hope you enjoyed the celebrations.

Janni, glad to know you are on treatment while you wait for your scan. The timescale isnt so bad now…the waiting is horrible but you will get through it. We are all here to help. xx

Hi all.

Me again… hope you don’t mind me messaging. Mums got ct scan end of Feb and sees onc mid march. Her bloods and everything seem to all be ok but I am just such a worrier so I am feeling anxious already!!

Please reply if you can xxxx

Mum is feeling well in herself. She gets a little tired in the afternoon but other than that she looks really well and feels well xx

Marie
What a kind and supportive daughter you are and hopefully the scans will show everything is stable for your mum.

Had a ct scan on Monday but got to wait until next Wednesday for results. I’ve got no reason to suspect anythings wrong but can’t stop analysing everything that the lovely radiologist said and did, keep going over it in my head looking for clues as to whether she had spotted anything and driving myself mad. Every time I have a test I think that this time I will be fine and every time I end up doing this!!

It’s a long wait but we are all holding hands for you in our cyber world !!
Please let us know the results and keep in touch.

Applecrumble, no help to you but believe me, you have a very short wait… Its just as agonising i know. It seems no matter how many scans you have the anxiety never lessens. I always think…will this be the one where they tell me its spread and nothing can be done…but in any case, it doesnt matter how much we worry it wont change the result so try and stay strong and do things which make you happy to try and take your mind off things. Let us know how you get on anf remember we are always here for you. xx

Thank you so much it helps to know you are all here and that you all know how I’m feeling . xxx

Applecrumble, we all totally get where you’re coming from, I’m exactly the same especially when I go for my onc appt for the results, I’m scouring the waiting area to see if my mac nurse is about because I know from past experience that if she comes into the appt it isn’t good news!!!
Good luck with your results and keep us posted!

Well I’ve got my results today and my I’m all clear! So happy. Dr said the shadows would have been breast cancer but the chemo got rid of them and hopefully the medicines will keep them away. Thank you for our amazing doctors and nurses, I am so so grateful.

Applecrumble…fantastic news!!

Brillaint news Applecrumble!!xx

Hi all,
After failure of last chemo, vinoralbine, just found out I had very good reduction on liver meets on first scan on Docetaxel.So nice to have a little respite for a couple of months. Even my stress related IBS which caused trapped wind has disappeared!!! Best wishes to all xxx

Thanks FF. I feel my stress levels have dropped by 100%. I know I have to find ways to cope with this. Will try Headspace Bonariensis. which you and Moijan have recommended I will persevere with it this time. It looks like a positive step I can take for myself. Love Waffles xxx

Thanks for advice. xxx

I have a CT at 8.20 tomorrow morning - it has been 4 months since my last one and the first since starting GemCarbo. Results are 2nd May so a nicd long nail biting wait! Thinking of all those awaiting results xx

Thank you Funnyface xx my Consultant is on holiday hence the wait!  I have had lung mets for 4 years now and each time I expect to be told it has gone somewhere else.  I am lucky that I have had two long runs on Cape and Taxol but always expecting my luck to run out.  Gosh I don’t sound very positive do I - need my man up pills as my son says :0) Thank you for your reply, I hope you are well xx
