I'm Malcolm and I've got my second CT SCAN after having my bladder.lymph nodes and prostate were removed in an 8 hour robotic operation but my first scan 3 months later showed A slightly swollen lymph node but the surgeon said.he was not worried about it and I was happy. But now after my three month second scan everything has changed and I'm very frightened now they said other organs were swollen and they also said my liver might have cancer in it I have an appointment with another member of my cancer team and I'm bricking it. They said with other treatments options I'm getting such a bad feeling about it 

  • Hi Malcom, and thank you for your post.

    I am sorry to learn that you have had surgery for cancer and that the CT scan has picked up further abnormalities. This must not be easy.

    It can be stressful and cause anxiety waiting for hospital appointments. I can appreciate that there is uncertainty for you, which can be incredibly difficult. When you have your meeting at the hospital, hopefully, you will have more information and a plan on what the next steps are.

    In the meantime, I hope you have friends and family that you can lean on at this time.

    I hope you do not have to wait too long for your appointment. If you have any questions or need any support, you would  be welcome to speak with one of our nurses on the helpline. You can call Monday to Friday between 9 am and 5 pm, freephone 0808 800 4040.

    Take care,

    Jemma
