not coping

@outlander good that you finally heard from your GP. Although it doesnt sound as though it has allayed any of your fears or uncertainty around your scan reports. Listening with hearing eyes if you wish to discuss.

@Sans911 so pleased that some of your wounds are finally showing signs of healing. Hopefully a good sign that the rest will follow .. eventually. Ha ha Mr A is a funny fellow.

I don't know @Sans91 @Sherr
im so confused. I cant be specific but ill try to explain

On the CT even though the radiologist has suggested an urgent MRI or CT the gp is dead set on getting a blood test first and then referring me to a gastroenterologist. I get that and im ok with that however he isn't going to do the CT or MRI till the blood tests come back to check for a virus.
On the CT scan there is an 19cm mass/lesion/other-cant be specific here and he wont do anything else. A specialist right now has a 6 month wait even for an initial phone appointment.
He wont run an mri because itll cost me money-I said I don't care about that I would rather get it done and know what it is then to wait another 6 months stressing out over it.

Wait for bloods then see what happens he says. and also apparently whatever on my pancreas isn't whats causing whats happening for me.

@Jacques @Lumi ill tag you from here, this is the most recent update

@outlander .. that is indeed a large mass ... you dont mean 19mms do you? Cant see how you could fit something 19cms inside you. 😵

As far as Helicobacter Pylori ... I thought they used a 'breath test' to diagnose that? My husband had it many years ago and it was determined via a breath test. He was put on medications which were very effective.

Totally understand you being scared with all the waiting ... very upsetting and frustrating I'm sure.

I guess you need to wait now until Thursday and go from there, depending on results.

no @Sherr 19cm is exactly what it says on the report. 19cm of whatever is showing which is where a lot of my pain is stemming from If I look at a diagram of a body but apparently it has nothing to do with how im feeling now and keeps harping on about the h.pylori which yes it may very well be a stomach ulcer that's causing what ive had for 2 yrs but its not causing the pain. that is new and you cant see an ulcer on a scan you have be scoped for that.

they can do a breath test if I want to go off all medications for 2 weeks and im not doing that. the medications to treat a stomach ulcer (unless I need ABX) are what im already on. im on the meds for it for the past 2 yrs when I was first tested.
