Hi there Carrie,

Waiting for results is awful.  I have scanxiety myself right now too and can appreciate how you feel.

It's hard, but try not to read too much into the face to face appointment.  All consultants work differently from one another.  I have just changed oncologists and my current one is happy to give results over the phone (whether good or bad news) with my agreement.  My previous oncologist insisted on a face to face appointment for results at all times, both before and during the pandemic with no exceptions (even when I asked for a phone call).

I hope those results are good news for you.  Take care.

Thanks Gemmy

Yesterday I got a phone call from hospital to ask if I could come in today for bloods as my results were being discussed at a MDT Meeting this Thursday 

I asked if anything was wrong and the nurse replied that there was a few things showing concern and changed since my last scan in 2020

i was told that I have also been booked in for an MRI Scan as they would like to investigate a few things she said there was a thickening and a nodule where they joined my bowel together after operation, and what looks like a tumour in my liver. The nurse was positive saying that the thickening could be over healing and hopefully the liver tumour is benign  but I'm not so sure, pretty hard to remain positive. 
so I'm going in today for bloods and are awaiting a date  for MRI Scan and to hear outcome of MDT Meeting 

So very sorry to hear that.  They are putting a plan in place to investigate further and it sounds like they are running with it as fast as they can. 

I think you'd be forgiven for not feeling positive today.  All I can offer up apart from good wishes is the suggestion of distraction.  I can't read or watch anything too complicated when I'm trying to take my mind off things but find travel programmes help - Rick Stein or Simon Reeves on iplayer with a bottomless mug of tea.

You've had a lot to deal with and come to terms with in a very short period of time, plus lockdown and the day to day challenges of your life generally.  Are you able to access any counselling?  It's not for everyone, I know.  I truly wish this wasn't happening to you.

Hi all, just a wee update I went for my MRI scan last Thursday and got a phone call today with my results 

good new - only a cyst on my liver! Results getting discussed in MDT meeting on Thursday not sure if it will need removed or drained but feeling relieved that it's not cancer 

I am so extremely pleased to get that news!!  Fantastic!  Obviously some treatment for you to come, but at least there is a big sigh of relief.  Thank you so much for coming back to the board to say how you got on, that means a lot.  Just know we're here if you do need us or just want to see what's going on.  Take care for now x
