Great Results and Number 4

2 minute read time.

Last Friday afternoon I had my clinic appointment to get the results from my 4 monthly CT and MUGA scan.  All is well and the oncologist was very happy and I am very happy.  I had to see a locum consultant which always makes me nervous as I know they are qualified but they never really know you and your history but she was very thorough.  The radiologists hadnt reported my CT but the pictures were up so she studied these against my previous scan and in her opinion felt there were no changes. She also said if it got reported on and there was anything significant they would let me know but she sincerely felt this wouldnt be the case. My MUGA was fine sitting at 53 % which it has been for a while now so on I go with the Herceptin...blood test fine too. She said I am a star and to keep doing whatever it is I am doing.  We discussed the possibility of me waiting 6 months for my next CT and I am very happy with this. As I have had almost 2 years with no further spread etc it will be quite nice to only have this worry twice a year instead of 4 times. Again she said if my usual onc isnt happy with this they will let me know. So all is really really good. PHEW!!

Then on Saturday I went paintballing with my hubby, sister, brother in law, nephew and a group of my husbands work friends and partners.  I was a little bit apprehensive as I didnt think it would be my cup of tea but it was AWESOME. I absolutely loved every minute of it...even getting shot which hurts!! I got shot in the head a couple of times, the legs and the face (although I had a protective mask on and body armour!!) It was really filthy and muddy but so much fun and I really want to go again. I have added a picture of our team but its the only I got as I didnt really want to take my camera and risk it getting ruined. So thats another thing to add to my list that I have never done before.

Me in the middle (blonde hair!!). The photographer told us to push or marshall in the yellow vest into the mud...so we did!! He was prepared though and didnt go in....GREAT DAY!!
