Hi Dave and Julie

thank you for your kind  words , nit a bad 2 days yesterday’s performance and today’s years inspirational all way through. 

Hope you are ok and have rested well today 

now off to update my blog.

Hazel 

Just kidding re klopp hazel and I know yr a MU fan lol

YourBlog and reason not selfish at all and totally get that. I started this thread as soon I as knew and as I have said many times, it was to help at least one person but in the main was to record my  journey and my progress warts and all and its been very therapeutic for me so I guess I have been selfish all along as well then, It still is my rationale for doing this.

 However i'd like to think all of us have pulled together, contributed and helped one another especially as we are all at different stages and often have different symtoms at different stages.

Hi Ian 

totally agree I do think sharing experience s has helped me no end. Like I say we are all different but in  a way all  the same if that makes sense. It certainly helps to know you aren’t alone st 0300 when spitting secreations out or trying to drink your bush tucker quota of ensure love that analogy. Blog ready for publishing in next few mjbd. Wonder if I will sleep tonight. lol. Keep in touch

Hazel how long does it take to get the results after the scan?

Dave

HHi Dave if it’s a pet ct scan usually a week I.e. guybtoday gets his next Monday as I let ct scan needs more time for whatever reason. Wirhbchristmas and new year they had a back log so I knew well in advance mine was 11 days .so just put it out of my mind and compartmentalised it ,with the well it’s done I can’t influence it either way so forget about it and to be honest I did .ok last nights sleep was fractured but that could be dry mouth and apprehension.

I kniw a girl who had an m r I scan as her final scan  different consultant s ask for different scans she had her scan at 11 am waited jn hospital until 1600 consultant read  it and gave her a provisional all clear and said 2 days later will ring you to confirm  which they did and it was. .

my oncologist takes the belt and braces attitude and want the security of the pet ct scan , with it there is a risk if it’s done too early you can get a false positive ie u still have radiation in your system which can affect the scan Hence why I was 16 weeks from finish , I have known m r I scans some at 10 weeks done . Do you know which one you will have .

hazel

Doc told me i’ll have an examination at 6 weeks camera up the nose etc and scan at 12 weeks, he didn’t say which type of scan.

Dave

Ask him next time you go.would younbelieve I only had a camera up on the 2 nd lovalmloval Ent clinic  Oncologist hasn’t done one he believes in science from the scans , in my case with it being tonsil said the camera wouldn’t tell him anything somwhy put me through it. 

Tell yiu one thing it’s a very very strange feeling today m John and I just been talking and we are both the same elated that the cancer has gone but there’s a deflated feeling as well hard to put into words maybe becasue we’ve lived ut day and night since 14 May last year and now it’s gone !!!

Hazel 

Ditto if you’ve read my blog we cycled 1100 km lastvMay ok had what turned out to be s lymoh nide with cancer cells in it but I don’t drink don’t smoke n for 61 female fairly fit n get tonsil csncerbfrom h p v 16+ virus. Why us when there’s scores out there that abuse their bodies.  Only saving grace the cure rate is good. Like my oncologist said on first meeting him it’s the cancer he would choose if he had to get one. But the treatment is probably the worst of all as until u can’t use your mouth u have no idea how much it and the tongue do. 

Hope u get a good night anyvwuestions justcsdk. Just because I’ve got my results I am still going to help as many as I can for a long time to come . Off to Spain Saturday 19 days gentle bike riding no mountains though all flat
