Re: Waiting for results - second guessing
I have always found that if there’s something concerning on the imaging then a radiologist will come and go over the area. The technician always goes and gets them to check if they’re worried. If they let you go home without that happening then don’t stress.4Views1like0CommentsRe: Tempered Conversations
During the first few weeks of shock and fear I found the kind and settling voices on here were so reassuring. Problem is, there are always other threads going on that terrify us BUT we have to choose to not read those if we are in a fragile place. This isn’t a site just for the new; it’s also for those in the middle of tough treatment, and those who are weary survivors, and those who are struggling with secondary cancer. Venting to others who understand us is vital at times. We have to choose what to read and what to leave well alone for our mental health. Always with kindness and empathy. We are (mostly) women together with all our hopes, fears and often grief.6Views3likes0CommentsRe: I HATE BLOOD TESTS
Oh I can relate. My good veins are on my bc side so can’t use them after axilla clearance. One good vein on non bc side has been stuck ( I counted) 28 times this year and cannulated 6 times. This week I had my 3 monthly CT and my trusty vein gave up. I lost it after a few attempts of shoving and manipulating and shed a few tears. I am so tired of all this. Then the waiting for the CT results. Aaahhh!!!11Views3likes0Comments
