Waiting and wondering!...

Hi all - 47 male and have found out via scope test that my Barrets has now progressed and a probable malignant tumor has been found. I have  PET scan tomorrow and a CT on Friday but the waiting is really getting to me! Keen to learn more and understand what happens from here on in. Biopsy results not back yet and while I think I am lucky things are moving like they are, weeks seem like months!

  • Hello reynardduke,

    I noticed you hadn't yet received a response and thought I'd pop by and ask you how did the PET scan go yesterday? Did you find out anything new? Wishing you the best of luck for the CT scan on Friday.

    I have often read here that the wait can indeed be nerve racking. Days can feel like weeks and weeks like months and the uncertainty can often be overwhelming. People often comment that it's a good idea to keep busy and distracted, to focus on other things if possible but it isn't always easy to do so.

    We're here anytime you need to talk and if there is anything you wish to ask our nurses when you receive your results, don't hesitate to ring this free number if you live in the UK: 0808 800 4040 (their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm)

    Best wishes,
