Have been waiting for the bone scan and ct scan to come back, so I can get on with dealing just with the breast cancer. Of course, something else had to enter the picture. The bone scan came back clear, the ct scan came back all clear, except for a spot on my colon. At first the nurse told me the radiologist had put that it could be poop. Then I got a call from another nurse that the dr wanted to get a colonoscopy to make sure. I panicked because a similar thing happened last time I had uterine, they stated that colon cancer could be connected and that since my father and grandfather had colon cancer that I was at risk.
I called Teena, the drs assistant, and she understand my concern. She spoke with the dr this morning and he put in the referral with my surgeon, the same one that did my port, which I found so interesting. She called me this afternoon and I shouldn't have asked questions cuz it scared me more. She read what the radiologist had stated that it was a different image then any of the other areas of the colon, but could be poop. She stated that it could be nothing, it could be a pre cancerous polyp, it could be breast cancer, it could be colon cancer.
I find it unlikely to be breast cancer as I would think it would show up somewhere else first, and I just had a colonoscopy four years ago, so even if it is colon cancer it can't be bad.
I don't want it to be breast cancer.
She was honest so as not to get my hopes up, but I wish I didn't know.
She stated that the dr had done it first thing in the morning, but didn't seem too concerned about it.
I will call Monday and see if I can get a colonoscopy next week, because it has to be done at the end of my chemo cycle and if not then I will have to wait two more weeks. She said it was not urgent, but to me it is. I need to focus on getting through the chemo and such and not other things.
