Hi everyone
I just need to say how worried I am really. I went for my check up today which I was panicking about as I have developed a bad back over the last few weeks as well as the usual bladder/bowel issues post radiotherapy.
During my examination I noticed the oncologist being very thorough and he then told me he could feel some hardness up there. He’s booked me in for an urgent mri and I saw him write something about recurrence which obviously got me really upset and worried.
I just can’t face anymore of this cancer melarky and now I’ve got a three week wait until I get the news.
Why can’t it just leave us all alone!

hey
Sorry to hear your situation. I don’t have any experience of this but I just thought is there any chance they wrote reoccurrence to get you an MRI quicker?
My consultant wrote metastasis one one of my reports to get me a scan quicker ore diagnosis and of course that sent me running for the hills.
Sorry I can’t be much more use
Lots of love

Hi...it is quite soon after your original treatment so it is very probably not a recurrence, and very probably stenosis which is scar tissue! Hope all is ok xxx
Hi Cara,
I'm sorry to hear that you are feleing so worried. It's so hard when you have already been through so many difficult blows not to expect the worst is going to happen. You may just be misinterpreting what he's written down?
I am due to get the results of my first follow up scan after treatment on Monday. I can help thinking that every little twinge means something significant.. I too keep worrying that I don't know what i'll do if my results are not good. I'm trying hard to remain positive though and sending all my positve vibes to you. Please try not to worry. xxx

Thank you all so much for replying.
I think basically he wants to rule a reoccurrence out but the sight of the word really threw me. I have odd pains here and there but this back pain is something else. Before I had my examination he was shaking his head at the thought that it had returned but afterwards it was different.
I had a really big mope last night but today I've decided to try to put it to the back of my mind. Whatever it is I can't change so I might as well try to enjoy self in the meantime.
Crossing everything it's scar tissue Helsweld.
Claire I hope your scan results are good.
Thank you again for the replies, they really do help.

Sending you hugs Cara, a three week wait sounds impossibly long.
(((((HUGS)))))
Be lucky :-)

Hi Tivoli
Thank you. We're supposed to be going away for a week as well. The nurse told me to go and have a great time which kind of worried me even more in a way as I started thinking is this my last holiday etc etc.
Going to ring up my nurse specialist tomorrow and see if she can chase up a scan date.
Really trying to put it to the back of my mind but it has a habit of coming crashing back.

I am sorry you are in this position. I have pain in my groin and have had an urgent MRI referral and get my results tomorrow. Terrified doesn't cover it because I don't know what will happen or what it means if it is back. I hope you don't have to wait for too long x
Hi Sweet pea
I hope it all goes well for you. So scary I know xxxx
