Well, I had the phone call today regarding my fate. It was from the other Oncologist Joanne as Sarah is on holiday.
Joanne has said they cant see anything else on the CT scan but because OvCa is a bit sneaky they want to do a laparoscopy to check everything........and if its clear, they will do the liver op!!!!!
I know this is only a glimmer of hope but it is what I need right now and they wouldnt bother with it if they thought there wasnt hope!
I now have a few choices to make:-
NHS op will be in about 4 weeks but I COULD organise a private one which would be in a week or so. I am due to go to my friends in Spain on the 22nd for 10 days, if I have the op next week, I cant go to Spain, if I wait for NHS, am I leaving it too late? The onc said she didnt think it would make that much difference but I had to be the one make the decision. If I didnt have the option of private it would be 4 weeks anyway.
My thoughts are that I SHOULD go to Spain......have a break, get some sun and relaxation to prepare myself for everything mentally and then have the op privately as soon as I get back. It would only be a delay of 2.5 weeks.......what do you think girls?
I am SO happy that I have finally at least been given some HOPE!!
