Hello all,
I have the results of a PET-CT scan tomorrow, and I am hoping I have cancer.
Please allow me to explain, then you can all tell me how crazy I am. I am 61 years of age and until fairly recently have been in good health. A couple of years ago a started to get pains in my legs and constant musscle tears.. no diagnosis has been found so far. my mobility is extreemly limited as a result. I have developed type 2 diabetes, severe sleep apnoea, I am in agony with gallstones and had a heart attack 3 months ago, with three stents inserted. As a fit/healthy soldier and police officer for most of my life 2019 has been particularily difficult with the heart attack and most recently a cough/sore throat which has been ongoing now for 2 months. I had a scan of my throat/chest which revealed a marble sized lump on my right lung, which is why I had the PET-CT scan.
I am soooo tired all the time, extreemly depressed with all of the sudden illneses and above all frustrated that there seems to be no explanation/ treatment for these issues.
I am hoping that tomorrow will reveal a root cause and may be treatable or at least give me peace of mind that all of this pain and misery will be over soon.
I'm not sure I even have a question, I just wanted to write down how I am feeling and I feel horrible for even thinking that I would like the result to be cancer. Oh well, only 1 more day to fight through then hopefully I will get some closure, either way.
I sincerely apologise If I have upset anyone with this post, it was not my intention.
Neal.
