I am here with wonderful news...

There is no Cancer! The body scan was clear apart from the known abnormal nodes, the nodes are not malignant. (more tests to establish true cause but not believed to be anything that cannot be sorted).

The chemotherapy appointment for this thursday was a "mistake". The consultant was very sure it was a lymphoma based on all the information and results but ..wrong again.

It is psychologically challenging to take in and and reverse the past week. But feel of course very very very happy. And lucky.

We were unable to absorb information at first...I would have imagined in this senario you would jump around the room with joy but we really could not move!

We did make it to the pub and and we did sleep like babies.

Thank you so much for all of your replies and goodluck. I will check in to see how things work out for both of you.

I will be following up our "experience" with all those involved in the hope that we can educate the medical teams about our difficuties with the service and errors over the past weeks. It is not about blaming anyone but to get them to understand how this happened and the impact and to make some small changes in processes to prevent this happening to others.

Hi Ourturn_1. 

Wow!!! Terrific news! I'm so glad for you. I imagine your relief. I'm just sorry for all the distress you were passing by the mistakes. Last year I had also large lymphnodes on my neck ...complaint during months and finally, after so many antibiotics my oncologist told me "maybe is a lymphoma". I was crazy that day thinkingthat I might have a new cancer...after years fighting against ither...my lucky was that on that afternnon I made all exams, so my panic lasts only few hours.

I hope you can relax now and enjoy your beautiful life! As we spoke before "there is no cancer untill there is a diagnose" ;) And a dignosis needs images and lab evidence corroborate. 

All my love, S.
