The ultrasound sound shows it's not suspicious. A fatty hilum under 4mm. My bloods shows abnormalities in my liver so having an ultrasound on Wednesday to be safe. I'll see my oncologist on Thursday to go over everything. Feeling relieved Thanks everyone for their support

Do you take regular tablets for bone density? I wonder if I should have the infusion as well

Thanks i hope so. Spoke to another dr today who is relieving my usual oncologist. Made an appointment to see her next week when she returns. He recommended having a ct on my neck. Funny that. The xray ultrasound i had before my ct scan didn't even pick up my bowel cancer. He's recommended the ct scan straight away. I'll see my usual gp on Thursday. See what he says too. If I have to have the ct before hand I'm going to push it. Why don't the ct scan the entire body during routine scans? They only scan my chest and pelvis

Hello My name is Catherine. I'm 32 married with 2 little boys aged 4 and 7. I was diagnosed with stage 3b bowel cancer in 2017. I had most of my bowel removed and 3 months of chemotherapy. I have been trying my best to enjoy my life and consider myself lucky that I'm here today. Last month I found a lump in my neck. The dr said my lymph node may be swallon after having had chicken pox. I was on antibiotics in November as well for a chest infection and then came down with another cold after the chicken pox . I'm going back to my gp tomorrow because the lump is still there possibly a little worse (according to my husband). I'll probably contact my oncologist too but I just needed to say this. I'm freaking out of it's a secondary cancer. I've been tired and my appetite has changed. I hope I'm just being paranoid but I can't help stress over any new symptoms I experience. All my bloods and ct scans have been clear although bone density looks low for my age (perhaps due to the chemotherapy). I just don't know what I will do if it is the worst case. Any words would be appreciated right now 😞
