Hiya all. Today was my first EVER CT scan.My radiologist even queried why I had never had one!I have always had 3 monthly ultrasounds coupled with blood tests and it was logical I guess that now being 2 years out from chemo the surveillance would come at longer durations(now 6 monthly CT's) with a colonoscopy due in august this year.
Having said all that I am sure most of you remember my concerns posted back in approx. november about surveillance tapering off. Ok..maybe I was paranoid then but now I feel much better. I have a wonderfull GP who never makes me wait for an appointment to hear my results. In fact she phoned me today within 5 hours of my completing the CT instead of me waiting until friday.What a wonderfull lady who is sympathetic to the needs of those who have been thru cancer and have a life of anxiety, as you all know too well.
I am still NED guys n gals!!!!!!!!!!!yipppeee!....and feel a whole lot safer! As always Jen and I thank you so much for being our "brothers and sisters in arms" against this horrid disease. We love you all very sincerely, huggs, Ross and Jen

    Ross,

    What great news. YIPPEEE!!!

    I can't believe that was your first scan. I had a cat scan the day I was diagnosed and many since then.
