[@Jbains]‍ has had a pet scan recently. 

Hi WQ - yes i had to have a radioactive injection at 10am and my scan was a few hours later. The dye shows any irregular cells and scarring - including cancer cells. Sorry but I don't remember anything so forgive me but didn't you recently have your op? It may well be that the scarring will show up on the scan so it may be difficult to see the bone density clearly at surgery site. I'm no doctor but it's just something I read and what my brother-in-law who has cancer was told.

I was 17 months post treatment when I had my scan and even then there was scarring from radiation treatment. The main concern to me was the return. No cancer cells showed up so to me that was the greatest reassurance. There's no guarantee it won't come back but I feel satisfied that I am cancer free for now.

I had the scan and then had to wait for my follow up appt with consultant to get the results and that was an agonising wait. I hope it goes ok and the pain subsides.

Hope the rest of you ladies are ok.

Morning peeps 

thanks chris nd Sundial.... all in it together b it good or bad. Yup the beginning seemed forever...but in reality was actually pretty quick- pain and fear makes it that way for us all I guess. Always look for the light at the end of the tunnel peeps ️

Bad:- blinking cold here..ground all frosty!

good :- lil ones stayed at mine last night- kept t their routine of bed at 7 and woke at 7 yay :-)

todays plan - play with toys, bake cupcakes, dinner, walk back to their house with a call at the park en route. Some picture drawing till mammy nd daddy get home. :-)

have as good a day as you can x

Oh my Sundial that’s seems to have flown... enjoy yr last day looks perfection ️

Will second that, it looks very serene.

I'd like to second that! I've spent the last four days trawling this post and it's given me loads of reassurance so far.
