Hi 

I got a call from doctors about a tumour measuring 3.6 x 1.4 on my spinal code this was on 10th January which he said was urgent I’v booked another MRI scan but not till 25th February I’m going out my mind plus starting to be in pain just wondering should I got to A&E what the doctor says with the pain and will I get answers quicker 

thanks jg82

  • Hi jg82 and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear about the tumour that has been found on your spine and that you won't be having your MRI until the 25th Feb.

    I know this must be a very scary and worrying time, especially if you're starting to feel more pain, but our community is here for you and hopefully some of our members will be along soon to offer you their support and advice.

    In the meantime, if the pain doesn't improve, or gets worse, it may be worth getting in touch with your GP to let them know. Alternatively, you can always give the NHS a call on 111 to get medical advice on this as well.

    We're thinking of you jg82 and wishing you all the best for next month.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

    Thank you for your reply, 

    doctor has been in touch and not happy with me having to wait till February for my scan so he’s going to get in touch with them to get me seen quicker so fingers crossed I will, I’v told him about the pain and he’s going to see what pain killers I can have cause some I don’t get on with 

    yours jg82
