Nervous for my check up scan results

Hi ! :)) 

I've been off chemotherapy since Feb 8th now, and on the 29th of last month I had my check up scan to see if everything is going well, I'm getting my results on Tuesday and I'm so nervous. I saw my doctor about my concerns over the lumps along my lower ribs and he said if there was anything bad on the scan they would contact me as soon as they had the results (which would take about two weeks), it's almost at the three week mark and still nothing to tell me to go in earlier than planned, so I hope it's good news. He did tell me though anxiety/stress can cause lymph nodes to swell up ever so slightly and won't go down until my body is relaxed and for the past two months i've done nothing but stress !! I'm an anxiety sufferer with diagnosed depression so I truly do hope that it's just my body reacting badly to me worrying about the results haha  

Me and my mom have planned a day out shopping (which is way overdue !!) after my appointment on tuesday morning, so I'm praying it's completely fine. I need new socks !! Haha 

Either way depending on the results I don't think i'll know how to react, it's going to be a big shock if I am all clear still. I'm expecting the bad news, even if i'm not ready for it :))

 

  • Hi imean_itiswhatitis, 

    I just wanted to send you some positive vibes ahead of your appointment tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning is the big day when you are getting these important results and we'll be thinking of you and keeping everything crossed for you. It is normal to be nervous and it's reassuring that they haven't contacted you and I hope that tomorrow will go smoothly and that everything is fine. Do give us an update if you get a moment. 

    It's nice that you and your mom have planned a day out shopping after your appointment. It's something to look forward to! I hope you will have a nice time together and that you find the perfect socks!

    Best of luck for tomorrow, we'll be thinking of you.

  • Hello omg !! 

    I just got back from my appointment and I'm in complete molecular remission !!! My doctor said since my half way scan was perfectly clear he said there was almost little to no reason there would be any sign of the cancer still left !! 

    I'm off shopping now haha, I've never been so relieved, I was sitting there in the waiting room absolutely dreading being told it was bad news, but the moment I went in I sat down and he said "Well, I guess i'll be seeing you in four months time". Me and my mom were so confused like huh ? and he said i'm perfectly clear and that I'll be going in for bloods in four months !! 

    The feeling of anxiety just disappeared and i felt like I could finally breathe again :')) 

    This forum has been so helpful even if it was just to splurge all of my thoughts on to aaaa. I'm so happy 

  • Woohooooo this is fantastic news! Thanks a lot for taking the trouble to update us. What a relief it must have been for you. I bet you really enjoyed that shopping trip afterwards.

    And now the really important question... did you find those socks you were looking for? I hope you did and that they have a nice pattern!

    I bet you will be sleeping really well tonight. We are so happy for you!

  • I honestly felt on top of the world, they were delayed with appointments for about half an hour so I had to wait a little longer than planned, so that was making me even more nervous, but the second I sat down my doctor gave me the good news and I just burst out in to tears !! 

    Shopping was really fun, the queues werent though, unfortunately haha. I found some really fancy frilly socks and they were neon pink !! I have a black light in my room so it was a need to get them aaaa. 

    Also I got a letter come through today for my bloods in four months time, it's on my birthday ahh !! Typical lmao. 

    Thank you so much !! <33
