An anxious wait . . . is now back on again

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update, straight from the horses mouth, so to speak!

The specialist liver nurse has just rung to say that my latest MRI scan results have shown no new tumours!!!  

Still the original three little blighters!

One of three has remained the same size, but the other two have slightly increased in size.

Next step is to have a PET scan (will need to look this up on here!) thought the nurse did explain it was like a CT scan only with glucose - I'm guessing to highlight markers elsewhere in the body?

If this scan is ok, liver resection and stoma reversal is next on the cards!

No timescales yet, but I'm wearing a smile as big as the sun today!

Thank you everyone for all your supportive messages during my 'anxious wait'

Love to you all, Jo xx

  • Brilliant news Jo !!!!   As said - a PET scan is very like a CT except you have an injection rather than a canular and drink. Nought to worry about for a girlie like you.  Have a fab weekend and am so pleased for you.  I know you will see the funny side too - but I had to smile when I think what is good news for us nowadays  -  used to be that you had been asked to a party or won a raffle lol!  Take care lovely lady x
