Scanxiety ahoi - Anyone else scanning this week? UPDATE

Postby pog451 » Mon Aug 26, 2013 2:19 am

Well, my last Folfox+Avastin is two weeks ago now, my GI is still behaving as if its completely dismantling itself, but at least it doesn't seem to be mixing quite so many broken bottles and razor blades into the ejected wreckage, but Wednesday is my progress meeting with my onc and Thursday my next CT.

Ulp.

This could be a biggie - After my liver resection my (very sceptical) surgical team declared me tumor free and I've had three rounds of folfox since then (and my onc supposedly only put me on that after seeing clear signs of tumor regression in the path for my liver mets), so SURELY I can be free on this scan too. My wife and I are superficially ploughing a hardcore "it will be alright" furrow, but my 2 years since Dx so far have been so strongly one step forward, two steps back that Im not sure Im so convinced.

Any one with a chicken to hand - swing one for me and ill be rotating for myself and anyone else scanning this week. Good luck to all!

I just had my restaging CT scan and one hour MRI today after a 10 week chemo break. Results tomorrow morning. Very scared and nervous. I have been feeling twinges of sort in my liver area and right shoulder pain when I breath in. I also had a mild allergic reaction to the CT dye today so now I have to be on steroids before every scan. I'm praying for everyone and swinging chickens :)
