What are the chances
I am so sorry that you have received this news. After four years it must be devastating to hear, especially in these uncertain times. I have had two CT scan appointments cancelled that were to investigate suspected return of OC so I can well understand your concern. Some hospitals (but by no means all) have stopped "non-urgent" appointments for things like CT and U/S scans because they need the resources for covid 19 patients but hopefully Endoscopy will not be affected in this way. Have they for definite told you appointments are on hold or just delayed? It might be a case of finding staff. I know how frustrating this is for me and my oncology team who are doing their best but are hampered by lack of resources. Can you get your GP to chase this for you? Are you still being reviewed by your oncology team as it's only been 4 years? Maybe you can talk to one of the CNSs. I do not know your circumstances but if you can, please try to talk to a health-care professional. They may have more insight into what your options might be. I am sorry I can't be of more help. You are not alone and lots of people here will offer a listening ear and support. I hope you can get some answers. Sending you a virtual hug for now.

Aloha! So sorry that you are going through this difficult time. Try to just get through one day at a time, one second, one minute, one hour, whatever it takes...just get through today. When you feel anxious, take a breath in for 4 counts, hold for 6 counts and release for 7 counts. Do this 3 times, hopefully it will help. Calm your body and envision healthy cells throughout. Hopefully, hospitals and clinics will be able to resume services soon. Stay on top of them. Don't expect them to call you, call them often until you are seen. Take care!
