Back to square one

Less than one minute read time.

Had a scan on Friday. Got results yesterday.

Went in to clinic expecting good news as I have felt so well. Came out thoroughly depressed.

Chemo (Cisplatin Etoposide) has stopped working on some of the tumours and others are appearing. Some are still shrinking. It looks like they are going to decide to stop my current chemo and they are considering an alternative chemo called Topotecan. Or, they might give me radiotherapy on some of the tumours. The one in my brain seems to worry them the most as its growing quite quickly (now 24mm). Its worrying me just a bit to!!!!

Anyway – they’re trying to get me in for an urgent MRI so that they can see why my neck is giving me gip and they’ll decide next Wednesday what happens next.

I know everyone says that you have to stay positive but sometimes its reallty hard.

    Hi Mo

    I think that the results of the last scan caught my consultant (and me) by suprise as everything seemed to be going so well. They're having a team meeting on wednesday to decide the way forward and I'm seeing them straight after.

    Here's hoping!!
