Yay! As suspected the tumour is cold on the PET scan so the new wedge shaped shadow is Fibrosis (scarring) afterall. The fibrosis will never get better, it is there for life. I will take that result, I can live with the scarring but not cancer. I still have that hot spot in my bowels so a colonoscopy has been re-referred, the last one got purged from the system probably because of Covid. The Bowel Cancer screening, with the stick, came back as negative a couple of months ago. All in all I am happy with the this morning's result.
I will have another appointment in 6 months, preceded with an X-ray.

Such good news 2greys, it must be quite a relief to have your suspicions confirmed and I'm very pleased for you. I hope that the colonoscopy, when you have it, gives the same good results.
Now that's some good news 2greys in fact, EXCELLENT news. (Not liking this font so I'll be quick!). It must be a huge relief for both you and Sharon and your son too. You deserve a "break" as your family has had a lot to cope with over the last few years. May it continue. 🐿🌈😷x
That is lovely news to hear for you, your family, and people on this site that enjoy reading your research posts and wish you well. Hope all goes well with future tests. Have a lovely weekend celebrating. Best wishes.
Theoretically, I have a max of just 3 more appointments, possibly only 2, and 'I can ring the bell', declared as cancer free in 18 months. As long as they can sort out my bowels for a likely polyp/adenomaas in the meantime
Best wishes for everything, I hope you will be telling us you have rung the bell when your checks are complete. A friend's granddaughter with leukaemia has rung the bell just recently. It was brilliant news to hear.
I still had to go out very early at 7:15 to make the 9 am appointment and have time to get my breath back. Home by 10:30 am. Most people on the buses were still wearing masks and had not ditched them early
I am so very happy for your good news. So deserved and too long awaited. And just to say thank you for your ongoing updates on where we are in this world of pandemonium. I don't read them all but many (I have saved them all! for further reading) I really value your keeping up with all the breaking news and articles. Thank you!
