Hi Cappsy, If your asking , is the speed of progression, from blood tests to CT and then colonoscopy and endoscopy, unusually fast, well the short answer is, NO, it happened to me even faster. I nursed my wife for a long time with cancer. Unfortunately she died in May 2016. In November 2016, six months later, I went to my GP for what everyone was telling me was depression. That was on the Wednesday morning, he sent me for blood tests that afternoon & on Friday I was seeing an Oncologists Registrar at RNS hospital. That was in the morning, in the afternoon I was admitted with probable pNETs. And was having a stent inserted into my bile duct between the pancreas & liver. All of that happened in a period of 3 day. this is all on the background of being a daily runner (15-18km / day) I worked and looked after 20 odd contractors, and had time to take care of my wife’s need. If that is what you’re getting at? I just think our specialist cancer clinicians are way on top of their field. I’ve been on the cancer round about, with my wife & now myself for over 10 years. I reel at the efficiency of all the associated departments, working hand in glove, to ensure smooth outcomes for patients. I really hope the results from your tests and procedures are favourable, that all is clear & you can go home and not feel the need to see us here again. If, for whatever reason you don’t get the news we all hope for, you know where we are. Take care, best wishes and keep health Lindsay.
