After my colonoscopy the doctors words were a blur but indicates serious and cancer , had ct scan mri and cpex in morning, weds is mdt meeting then I assume I'll get an appt to see what's happening , I have never been as scared in my life . 

  • I will do her appointment is at 11 xx

  • Hi how did your daughter get on today? Hope all went well xx

  • It was just bloods today she didn’t see her oncologist , how are you feeling? Xx

  • Not too bad , still sore hands but definitely eased from fri , feel tired today but had a good walk so to be expected , has her pain eased from earlier? Xx

  • Not sure I haven’t been able to speak with her today xx

  • Hopefully she's resting if she can, so hard for you , I've been out with my mum today and don't really think I've taken in the impact on her, and everyone around me xx

  • It is tough I just want this to be all over, but I know we have a long way to go yet and surgery x

  • Hi just opened letter my scans are on the 5th Dec! I'm a bit stressed as thought would be towards end of month but obviously sooner the better ! Hope you're all ok xx

  • Hi Beverley

    Sorry to hear about all of your trauma. I didn't know chemo can affect the kidneys. I suppose it would/could. I have nothing compared to a lot of people (I think - not confirmed, well I don't have a clue right now), but I have had CKD for over 20 years and I am protective of my kidneys, thus. Hmmm. A complication. I am already saying no to most things. I cancelled everything in my diary that I could, just with the stress of waiting, which has been over 4 months. That alone is enough to send a person crazy. It sent me crazy, especially with the information being so minimal, varying and confusing. I am so pleased your surgery went well and I am so sorry you now face such a difficult decision regarding your kidney health. Wow, the pressure is phenomenal. I feel for you.

  • Ooh, 4 months and no reply. Are you okay, Beaumont?
