Just an update!!

At hospital yesterday and my CT report still not back (10 days since CT). So not very impressed.
Got sent to Doctor anyway.
Waited 50 mins thinking, waste of time, as what can we discuss if no results ?
It was a new Doctor who apologised for lack of info but then said she had looked at scan online and that it was ok. I asked what size were bone mets as I have never been told. Seconds later I was looking at my last 2 CT scans and being shown the 2 areas of concern. Well this was a first! In over 3 years I have never been shown anything about my body!! I found this enlightening and could clearly see both mets. Fortunately it looks like Xeloda and Zometa are doing their thing as areas sclerotic.
But I am really annoyed about mets being missed for nearly a year by CT Consultant. I am totally untrained yet I could see clearly the 2 areas involved without Doctor needing to point them out!!
Still don't know actual size but strangely feel better having seen them!!
Yeah - a step forward!!
