Hi Smiler,

I am so sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis. It sounds as if you are having the CT scan to determine the extent of spread to sternum and spine. Waiting for the CT and then the results of the scan is always a scary time.

I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer and a few scares and have gone through this process a few times, so I know just how worrying it can be.

Try your best to distract yourself from the wait by keeping yourself occupied over the next few days and do your best to avois consulting Dr Google.

Do please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

I shall be thinking of you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
