Hi, who else is going through the draining hell of waiting for ct results and expecting the worst (as we always do) any tips for making this 'limbo' bearable please. Been here before but doesn't get any easier.
Why do they do this, I've been like this many times before and if it's good news I'm like a new person straight away and soon forget all the worry (until next time) but I have been on the recieving end of bad news too so I tend to focus on that and my mind runs away with itself. Good luck with your results x
I have recently (this week) had confirmation over the phone from pathology biopsies results that i have breast cancer and its spread to my lympth nodes.
I had a bone scan yesterday as got a call at 11.30 am as they had a cancellation and asked me if id go , which I did.
I have been feeling dreadfull pains shooting all in my body.i didnt realise I had to have radioactive dye injected and had to wait hours at hospital before the bone scan could take place. If i had known i would of took a book to read. So i found myself googling breast cancer soreading to bones.i made my self feel physically sick and nearly passed out , i started to feel hot and the floor was spinning, i felt dizzy and i called out to a nurse walking bu me , but she didnt stop.i slumped into my chair and put my head in my lap and sat there an hour like it untill i started to feel.a bit better. I had arrived at the hospital just after 12 and my scan wasnt till 3pm.i eventually had the bone scan and im going stir crazy because i feel sooo ill.i got home only to find the hospital called me asking me to call them.back.iI now have a ct scan booked in for today at 5pm.
Its awful waiting around ecspecialy when you are feeling unwell and you've been disguised with cancer of any kind, every pain or symptom you feel from the moment your told, you just wonder if its cancer related. Such awful worrying times .i undersatand completely even though you keep telling yourself to be more positive its essier said than done.Dont beat yourself up your not alone in your feelings and lets hope the results are not as bad as we think it will be.sxxxx
Hi im so.glad you had good news from.your ct scan , m still waiting i still have not heard anything , so should be soon as its 2 weeks on wed that i had the bone scan and 2 weeks on Thursday that i had the ct scan, so i should hear soon. But i keep on telling myself no news is good news.xxx
That's great news about your CT scan, ineedabreak.
I'm in the north-west of England, and I was told that if I didn't get my CT scan results in two weeks, I should phone to chase it up. Two weeks later I hadn't received my results, so I phoned to chase it up, and a few hours later they phoned me with my results. It was bad news, unfortunately, but at least with the results I can move to the next stage of diagnosis/treatment.
I was getting in a right state so rang my GP and she told me, the results letter came 5 days later! with a date of almost 2 weeks earlier followed by a later date that the consultant signed it. x
Sorry to hear it was bad news but as you say, you now have the results and can move on to getting cracking on the treatment.
I have been there and I found that knowing is slightly better than being left dangling in the middle of hoping for the best and your mind running away with itself and imagining the worst.
You just have to leave it to the experts now.
Don't google.... it fills your mind with bad things and most of the time it isn't relevant to you.
