Health issues including cancer taking over my life

Hi lovely people. I had 2 bladder tumours removed all good but now have nodules in my lungs that have grown x a mass on my liver. Having a scan of my lungs again in may but having to chase my liver ultrasound. I have compressed nerves in my neck that have been causing me severe pain for 13 weeks now. I’m still on the waiting list even though it’s an urgent appointment. Has anyone else had these experiences xx

  • Hello XjnetX, 

    Best of luck for your scan on your lungs in May - I am keeping everything crossed for you! I am sorry to hear though that you have compressed nerves in your neck which have been causing severe pain for a while. It's really stressful to have to chase that liver ultrasound too and to still be on the waiting list even though it is an urgent appointment - it might be worth getting in touch with them and ask whether they have any update or if they could provide an estimate of how long you might be in the waiting list for.

    We have a nurse helpline you can ring too on this free number 0808 800 4040 - it is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm so don't hesitate to get in touch with them if there is anything you would like to discuss with them. 

    Hopefully you will hear from the experiences of our members who have been in a similar situation and they will pop by and say hello. 

    I really hope that you will get your appointment soon and that it all turns out to be reassuring news. 

    Best wishes,
