Possible secondary cancer

[kiddy]

Hi there,

Went today for scan results 11months after Ivor Lewis where i was T1 all clear. Told they have found some enlarged lymph nodes in chest on scan. How shocked my daughter and i were. Been given option of waiting 6 weeks and having further scan or starting on another type of chemo which will only be palliative care. I have had returned to work at a school 2hrs 2 days and caught cough/cold which has lasted 3 weeks. I am hoping they have got it wrong.

Dear Debbie

So sorry to hear this - thinking of you and hope it's nothing serious.

Debbie what a shock .I think I would ask if further investigations are possible .Or a second opinion ?

There was a lot of uncertainty about my lymph nodes and the dx was only definitive after surgery when it turned out they were clear .

I'm not an expert but Im think PET scans give a clearer idea ?

Love and strength to you x

Dear Debbie,

If I were you, I would wait six weeks and have another scan. CT scans are not always accurate and a delay of six weeks in starting chemo is not going to make much difference.

Hope all goes well.

Yes Thank you trying to keep busy. Fingers crossed they have got it wrong x
