Hello All This post is a Iittle similar to the one left by Lotuslil in terms of the diagnositc processes and timescale. I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Grade 2 on 25th Jan (Fri before last) and things have moved very fast since then. The doctor at the assessment centre said that the biopsies indicated that my cancer probably hadn't spread. My case was then passed to my local hospital. I rang to inform them of my change of address on the Mon and they rang me on the Tues to make an appointment for me to see the consultant at the new hospital on the Wed at 8.30am. The speed of this was quite alarming. Then on meeting the consultant, it was decided that I should have a blood test, bone scan, CT scan and MRI scan. Immediately after this appointment, the nurse suggested I go and have my blood test straight away and book the CT scan also. I did both of these. Then the following day, I received a phone call with the appointments for all 3 scans within a week. I've now had the bone scan and CT scan and will have the MRI scan on Thurs. I find it quite frightening the urgency with which they seem to be treating my case. I just wondered if it was normal to have these tests and do they normally take place so fast? Thanks. Jemima
