I was given an appointment with my bowel cancer consultant yesterday which is a normal 6 monthly check and I took the opportunity to ask for the results of my recent MRI Scan ordered by the ear nose and throat specialist. Thankfully I was told the scan results came back clear and the consultant said they were unable to determine the cause of the tinnitus. I was very happy. However the CEA count, which is the cancer marker in my blood, was slightly higher than it has been, so I was sent for further blood tests. I'm not worried by this as when undergoing Chemo my CEA marker was often climbing then dropping but always in the "normal" zone. My consultant asked me to make an appointment with my GP so the results of the scan can be discussed further........... which has been set for next week Monday. The reason why the consultant asked me to make this appointment with the GP is, that apparently she was not qualified to discuss MRI (????????) so be it, a trip to the GP it is then...............
