MRI yearly scan

Hi everyone.

This is the first time that I have ever done anything like this. My mum had kidney cancer 10 years ago, 6 months ago they changed her screening to every year, rather then 6 monthly. recently she has been violently sick and cant keep any food down. As a result, her GP is sending her for an urgent endoscopy to rule out anything sinister.

Seeing as though her last MRI scan was all clear, I wonder what the liklihood is of it being something. 

  • Welcome to the forum Sherlock although I'm sorry to read that your mum's health has recently taken a turn for the worse.

    Unfortunately no-one here will be able to tell you whether this is something sinister or not but hopefully the endoscopy your mum has been scheduled for will be able to give you some answers soon. 

    Waiting for tests, and then the results, is tough as I'm sure you and your mum know all too well but I just wanted you to know you are not alone as many of our members here on the forum know what you're going through at the moment and will hopefully be along soon to offer some words of support and advice.

    I hope the endoscopy brings good results when the time comes Sherlock.

    Kind regards,
