Hello Tootsweet74.  First of all, sorry to hear of your cancer diagnosis, and just to reassure you, it is perfectly normal to have a CT scan after a diagnosis.  I have had breast cancer twice and yes, it is absolutely normal.  Also, to answer your other question, I can assure you that the consultant would NOT lie to you about the prognosis......if he or she says that it is treatable, then you can be absolutely assured that they are telling you the truth.  Good luck mate, xx

Hi

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm so sorry you've had to go through this twice. It's absolutely horrendous. Everything seems a blur at the moment. Hopefully I'll get some clarity after my appointment today. Thank you for your reassurance, it's very much appreciated.

I really feel for you and hope it went OK.

i think as soon as they have the CT scan result the

consultant can make an informed treatment plan and so very much hope this is the consultant getting you in to discuss that treatment plan with you. 
 

i had a similar thing when I got my first appointment. With the surgeon - was phoned by PA in the afternoon to go in the next morning and totally panicked it was bad news. Took the call offline in the middle of a meeting at work and when I went back one of my colleagues said after that I'd gone pale white and shaky. That's another thing- this is all a shock so go easy on yourself and try give yourself some

slack from normal life as

Much as you possibly can while you process it all . Sending hugs ️

Hi

i had my Consultation this afternoon following the CT scan yesterday. I was told that I have Triple Negative Breast Cancer. He had a look at my CT scan while I was there, he said the lungs looked clear but there was a spot on the liver and bone but it could be nothing and the scan would be discussed further later this afternoon. I was contacted by the Consultant later this afternoon and he said things weren't clear so I'm now being sent for a PET scan. I'm absolutely distraught, I worried sick incase it's spread. I don't know what to do.

I'm so sorry you are going through this . Remember - it's too early to tell /segg CJ one guess what the diagnosis and treatment plan is but easier said than done. 
 

I've been in a similar position of being absolutely distraught not knowing what's going on. , I phoned the helpline associated with CRUK, Breast Cancer or McMillan helplines - latter I think maybe they're open until 8pm and asked the nurses questions snd they chatted it through with me. It's so incredibly stressful . The other thing is - it's completely normal to be upset. As d anxious and it will not always feel like this, the initial diagnosis time I found the hardest and once I had a plan it felt easier to process. Sending love and hugs ️
