Hi Nikkichez and welcome to the forum.

I'm sorry to hear your daughter has been living with polycythaemia vera for quite some time and that she's now struggling with severe abdominal pain.

Waiting for the results of her CT scan must be very difficult but I hope this guide we have created on how to cope with waiting for news will help to steady your nerves until you know more.

So many of our members know how difficult it can be to support a loved one with cancer, so you are not alone, and hopefully you will receive some support and advice from them soon.

If it would help to talk to someone about all of this, you can give our team of cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phones lines are usually open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m but they will be closed between the 24th - 26th December and New Year's Day.

If you feel up to it, do let us know the outcome of the CT scan. We'll have our fingers crossed for good news and that the pain she's experiencing isn't a sign of anything sinister.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
