So true! I'm sorry that you have been going through this for quite some time. It seems mine has only been a couple months since the test showed positive on the colonorectal cancer section. After testing positive my husband actually called my PCP to tell him and he said thanks for letting me know. I'll handle it. I started getting texts and emails for imaging and lab work being set up and actually really fast. We told him Saturday about the test being positive and me even sending my husband to get a second to one because although a medical assistant and testing like that has literally been my livelihood since 2019 I still didn't believe it. So he went and got another one and I did it and it was positive as well. TBH the line showing positive was darker/ brighter the second time. Kind of lost it. He did too. I guess we were very mistaken thinking that with a positive test things would start going faster and they would find out where everything is. Surgery, radiation or chemo are options, do what's needed and biopsies obviously, and start treatment ASAP as I am 43 and 3 years ago I would work 14 hour shifts. Shifts nursing , overnight, For 14 hours on average then I would be so wound up when I got to the staff house that often I would change and go run. I started at a quarter or a half mile and within a month had gotten to where I could run 6 mi! Ny, I have to have braces on my right knee and my right foot to keep them from going out while I walk, when I can. I am tired all the time and sleep later than I did when I was a teenager. I sleep more than I am awake. I am so heartbroken. I don't think there's a better word. I thought at least I would start having appointments yet. The colonoscopy is in August. And other than lab work which was done two weeks ago and I've yet to hear anything back. Imaging is set up to check for breast cancer and cervical cancer screening... But why? So I can know know that I do indeed have something and that everybody who told me it was in my head for the last year wise indeed wrong? I already knew that! I know my body and I know how I feel. So why are we scanning for more when nobody's even addressed the first positive test? No treatment options given. Not even MRI, CT or ultrasound scheduled on my abdomen to check that way while waiting two and a half months for a colonoscopy. I hope I last that long... 🙏
