The bloody thing came back!

2011 while waiting for more surgery to repair yet another fistula, I had the longer wait this time due to NHS cut backs they had to approve the surgery to go ahead the fistula repair kits cost £700 suppose it's like a more expensive version of a puncture repair kit! Luckily I got the oh ahead in the meantime it was scan time again. I went for pre assessment ready for surgery then a few days later it was Chris birthday 31st January when the nurse phoned to say there's a change on the scan from the previous scan, area of concern, mr A wanted me to have a PET scan they only do these at specialist hospitals so off we went to st James in Leeds I was injected with a radioactive tracer this then travels to any disease in the body then you go in the scanner. After a few weeks we had not heard anything I had returned to work then on my birthday 1st march the phone call mr A wants to see me, a few days later we went to HRI we were told yes there's something there were not sure scans are inconclusive we can't do anymore for you so referred me to a professor in Leeds Mr S. My case was discussed in Leeds at their MDT, Mr S called me he wanted me to have a MRI scan then go see him for the results in May.....
