Tomorrow, the scan results (OT)
I will get the results from the CT scan of my sinuses and the MRI scan of my
brain tomorrow from my own doctor. I've been waiting since 8th February. The thing is, that the loss of smell and taste (which I have had since August 2012) can be from a tumour, and I am always waiting for my cancer to strike again. So I phoned my ENT (Ear nose & throat) consultant's secretary just before Easter to enquire about the results. She said she would fax them to my doctor and said "so many people are phoning for their results today" Maybe they waited too long then, eh? Anyway, I assume she did, and she told me to make an appointment with my doctor to talk it though, but I had to wait for the doc I wanted until tomorrow. Now when they say "talk it through, that's a bit of a worry, isn't it?" However, the ENT consultant sent me a copy letter he'd sent to my GP a few days ago with nothing much in it except to say that my scans were "unremarkable" Which means I don't have a tumour. I'm still going to the docs tomorrow to see what the full results are. There is still something wrong. I cannot taste tea, it's like drinking hot water, and that is very dire for a Brit. There are lots of other things I cannot taste too. Prawns (I loved them..) Tweed |

MaryL Thanks, having an "unremarkable" result is good, but if I was not up to speed with medical stuff myself, the letter I got to say that, with nothing else, would not have reassured me. It's not sufficient, and having sent that, he does not know that I will now go to my GP to get the full results that I had to force from his secretary. FGS. Waiting from February to see if you have a cancer recurrence is difficult. Anyway, it seems I am OK for now, but it's always waiting in the wings. Tweed |

minor surgery could be anticipated Fingers crossed and purrs on the way Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

Who could have realized that "unremarkable" is such a wonderful word.
