The woes of the waiting game.
The woes of the waiting game.
Saw the Oncologist this time round Told her the guy I saw last time was a bit unhelpful.
now because so many siblings and a parent having suffered cancer it appears its worth looking into. 2 brothers, dad plus 2 paternal cousins. When i was diagnosed only my little brother had colorectal cancer, Since passed. Then Dad oesophageal he lasted a year. And then another brother with prostate cancer with bone Met.

Hope its all coincidence. Time will tell.
To top it off my blood tests weren’t impressive
so after the genetics comes back I’m off for a CT scan and bone scan and another blood test

My colonoscopy/gastroscopy wasn’t the greatest no cancers but polyps removed from the duodenum through plus inflammation from the oesophagus through to where ever. And now have to see another specialist.
according to Oncologist the digestive problems aren’t related to my treatment
does the complications ever end. I know my sacral lesion has been a more of a pain or maybe the stress of life is just making it harder to deal with all the side effects of this shit show.

Hi @cranky_granny
I have the same problem with tests, but I have my doc and oncologist clued in and they send me a copy of every result, even if they do need reminding sometimes!
The waiting is one of the hardest bits in all this. Everything takes time and it can be incredibly frustrating. Most people just don't get how stressful it can be.
I hope you get your results soon.
Best wishes xxx- Coming up to 3 months since genetic blood test and still no results
to make everything worse no written report again with my bone scan or the CT scan they did yesterday morning
its like talking to a brick wall with these people to pass on the reports to me.
have booked in with my GP to get him to get up them. Anxiety going through the roof over results.Someone said today maybe no news is good news. Obviously they haven’t been there or done this shit show of MBC - Still no genetic results Hate this not knowing
- @arpie haven’t had the latest round of tests done they start on November 8th.Bone scan and CT scan then off to get the blood test on 14th the oncologist on the 18th for the results. Still waiting for genetic results. Maybe no news is good news.
It has been Tough. Im heading to Taree to see my other sister as soon as we are allowed. Its been a long 18 months. Thats for sure.
