We’re doing ok thanks Amanda, Mart had a chest X ray last week, just routine for his kidney cancer, he has a meeting with his stomach surgeon 13 Nov (same as your meeting) and I have my last cystoscopy ( hopefully last if nothing showed up) 6 Nov, so it’s the usual waiting we all seem to have. He hasn’t got the results from his bowel biopsies yet, waiting again. My cataract surgery on Saturday. Holiday in Dec so something to look forward to.  I’m pleased to hear you don’t sound quite so worried now, it’s a shock at the time then things start to fall into place, Good luck Helen fingers crossed it all goes well xx

Hi everyone. Hope your all doing ok. I reckon this thread will still be active around Christmas the way things are taking time etc.

Hi Sue, yes the shock was awful and the worrying before and after..I'm still worrying but it does feel a bit like the lull before the storm as I don't find anything out for nearly 3 weeks.. sounds like Martin being well observed and managed and you too..results tho seem to take so long....good your eye surgery in a few days..coincidentally I met 2 nurse friends yesterday who work in theatres doing cataract surgery all day every day..they said about how routine and straightforward it is xx

Think you're right..all the endless days and weeks of waiting!! 

I’m on another cancer research uk chat for the Osophagus cancer, that’s been going 3 years, people find it and join in and ask for help. I should really come off it though, at first we didn’t know if it was Marts Osophagus or stomach and been as there isn’t a stomach forum I joined the Osophagus one. I’ve just seen on his NHS records that the X Ray was ok so one thing less to worry about. Thank for the info Helen on the cataract, I’m still scared but people say you don’t really feel anything so just hoping that’s the case. Yes waiting is the worst thing ever, you just want to get on with whatever’s going to happen, I know how you feel Helen, hope you find out soon xx

Wow good job that other doctor told him to dobit then isn't it. Don't worry you haven't frightened me I will keep on top of it and make sure something is done and they don't forget me. Thanks for that. After doing some research it coukd be a test called a CT Colongraphy but I'm not sure. How are things your end xx

Yes I am having contrast but it might be a CT Colonography 

That is sounding positive. Fingers crossed for you when you get your results. Just a long wait for you now bless you xx

I’ve just googled that Amanda, that’s the same as Mart had at first, we called it a virtual CT but according to google it’s the same as you said.It’s not a problem having it as they only go in the bowel a little bit, put air in and take pics. The prep he had wasn’t so bad either, it was called Gastrografin and not much of it. I’ve just looked back on his notes and yes it’s the same thing. They can’t do anything if they find something though so it would be back to colonoscopy, let’s hope they don’t find anything. Good luck xx
