Recurrence

I survived acute leukaemia in 2005 and stage breast cancer in 2015.  I've been feeling unwell with multiple symptoms for months, and I saw my consultant on Monday. They took blood and I had a CT scan yesterday. Today I got a call to come in to see the consultant for the results tomorrow. I know that they don't call you the day after a CT scan to come in and receive face to face results if it's good news. I'm so scared. My son is ten years old. I'm 42. When I had my breast cancer treatment, they had to give me less chemotherapy than the usual protocol because I'd already had so much chemo for leukaemia (6 months of brutal treatment in an isolation ward). I think this is it. I don't know how my husband and my son will manage if I die, particularly my son of course. I'm panicking and so frightened.

  • Hi Daisy,

    I'm so sorry you're going through this again, I can't begin to imagine how you are feeling.

    What symptoms have you been experiencing if you don't mind me asking? Maybe there is a benign reason for them and that's what they want to talk to you about.

    It is completely normal that you would feel this way after what you've been through.

    I'm sorry I can't offer any advice, but if you want to chat, I'm always here.

    Take care,
