Hmmm, call me a cynic, but I sniff a clearing of back-catalogues......
I heard nothing after my CT-scan in November, although my GP assured me it was clear. When I saw him a couple of weeks back, I expressed my concern that I had reached the point in my monitoring where I have no planned tests of any kind for 18 months. Given that my cancer progressed from nothing to stage 2 in the two years between screening tests, 18 months "blind" is a worry.
Then, yesterday and out of the blue, I got a letter from my surgeon to confirm that my last CT-scan had not indicated any recurrence. I don't think this is a coincidence, but I also think it serves to dampen calls for further testing whilst the NHS is under strain.....
Just because I'm paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get me
