Firstly, thanks to those for the lovely comments on my last blog :)
Now for the results...........
The tumours in my chest and neck have 'only' grown slightly.
The one under my arm has grown a little more, and it now 2.5cm.
I've been waiting for test results to check for a 'cell marker' called CD25.
I've found out today that I have this cell, which means I have been
accepted onto a trial at The Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead - which
is along way from us!
I will be having a treatment called Basiliximab - which is like
radiotherapy, but administered through a drip, and only attacks the
'CD25' cell marker, so won't damage other cells (Hope this makes
sense!).
I will be in hospital for about a week, and stuck in a room as I will be radioactive!
In the mean time my fertility results are next Monday.
Also, today they have taken my Hickman line out.
It's not been used since August, and is just an infection risk!
They have to cut part of it out, so i've come home nursing 2 stitches,
and the local anasthetic is wearing off, and it's rather tender!!!
