Hi Gab, Yes I got my PET scan results. Unfortunately it wasn't the best news. I have a spot in my right lung. It's not a great diagnosis, but its also not the worst. It's one spot, they are going to remove it with surgery. It's been a tough few weeks but I'm actually feeling really positive. I believe I can beat this, and I will continue to fight it. Thanks for checking in x

Paul thanks for responding, I haven't talked to anyone but think it may be really useful. Hearing your story and that of Mark has really helped, we lived so we can enjoy life, so that's what we need to do. I wish you good health for many many years to come.

Thank you for the advice. It hit a note with me. I have been trying to do it all myself I suppose, but I think talking to someone may be really helpful. I want to be able to enjoy this life. I appreciate the time you took to write your reply.

Hi everyone. It's almost 2 years after diagnosis of melanoma (stage 3), and 2.5 years after my cervical cancer (stage 1) diagnosis. And I feel like I'm spending my life waiting....just waiting... for it to come back or for it to be far enough behind me to be confident it's not coming back. Does everyone feel like this? My friends and family have moved on, to them it's over, but I'm still having 3 mth and 6 mth check ups and have 1 March next circled as D-Day, my 2 year PET scan day for melanoma. I'm 34 and feel cheated somehow.. people are worrying about weddings or houses or kids and I'm worried about PET scans and spending ridiculous amounts of money on compression garments to try and keep my fast progressing lymphedema at bay. [A hangover from my melanoma surgery]. I'm so grateful I'm alive. But I'm also tired of the fallout from having cancer. Any advice greatly appreciated! X
