Looking for some guidance
Has anyone been upstaged from a pet-ct scan?
I am currently waiting for results and I am so scared that it's going to come back that I have cancer everywhere.
Smear test was inconclusive. Repeat smear test the same. Colposcopy found a large ectropion but couldn't see any tumour. Biopsy done but again inconclusive. Sent for a MRI where they found a 4cm tumour and was told I have cancer. Possibility of 1 lymph node involved. I then had a LLetz procedure a day after they told me I had cancer. Then this week I was sent for a pet-ct scan. From the start of it all it will have been 3 months. This is in the UK.
I am so worried that the pet-ct scan will show more. Are MRIs good at picking up other issues and spread to nearby organs? All I was told from the MRI was that the tumor size, that it is possibly breaching the wall and one possible node involved. The tumour is high up in the canal but they are still saying sqarmous cell.
I am worried that more lymph nodes are going to be involved or that it has spread elsewhere. I did however have an emergency C-section almost 6 months ago that got infected after 7 weeks which took weeks to heal. I also found out that I have/had mrsa when I had the LLetz procedure which makes sense as in the last year I have had what presumed to be an infected spider bite at the bottom of my back that took months to heal, a huge boil near my armpit and then 2 more infected bites since then. The whole of my cervix was inflamed probably due to the ectropion.
I feel like every time I go to the hospital I get worse news.
I presume I won't have a meeting until the results from the biopsy and scan are back. Every day means I am spiralling even more and I can't get out of it all.
