Hi Quakerjon and welcome to the forum.

Sometimes a range of tests need to be carried out before they can tell you what's going on. It doesn't necessarily mean you have cancer but this is done so cancer can be ruled out, so try not to think the worst if you can. Easier said than done I know, but hopefully you won't have to wait too long until you can get some answers and peace of mind.

Waiting for news is always difficult but I hope the tips and advice given in this article will help.

Hopefully some of our members will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon as well but if you'd like to discuss any of this with one of our nurses, they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

I hope your appointment went well today and all goes well with your CT scan later this week.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
