So I've been coughing for a few weeks without actually being sick, a dry cough. As @drron will attest this was one of the symptoms last time and I have been umming and arring about what to do, be a manly man again and tough it out or follow up as I should have done last time. Thursday I had MrsP at DHM for blood tests as the drug trial company have been in touch to let us know her potassium levels are elevated and she should get further tests. Bugger it, I'm here now so I give Genesis Care a call. The efficient Lisa says she'll email a bloods request and these are completed straight after MrsPs drawing. Next morning my haematolgist forwards a PET scan request and shortly after I get confirmation I am booked in on Tuesday. I cannot complain about how efficiently everything has happened. I had scans yesterday and now waiting for results which I am honestly not expecting to be bad news. The thing is if I didn't do anything someone would be sure to tell me if only I'd been in touch sooner.

Scanxiety is a real thing @prozac. Fingers and toes crossed for you.

Received good news the PET scan does not indicate any lymphoma activity. Nice to have this assurance and impressed at how responsive my team are.

@prozac
I am so happy for you and this news
Even though I do not actually know you I really enjoy reading your posts (except where possible relapse is a concern) and wish you all the best. This is (for the most part) a happy community of travel lovers - a personality trait that confers kindness open mindedness and respect.
Stay well
