Today was the day to go to the hospital and meet My oncologist who also had the results of my CAT Scan.
We arrived early and couldn’t find anywhere to park so had to go back outside the Hospital grounds and park in the road.–not a good start.
Sat around a long time waiting as everyone else went in and was getting bored but worried as I thought it was going to be bad news and they were leaving me until last.
Finally a nurse weighed me and I could see I had put on weight.
At last at 4.30pm I was called in and the Doctor was there with Tony The Senior Cancer McMillian Nurse.
I was told that I had put on weight and I said I know bad isn’t it but I have jeans on this week and they laughed but Tony said it was great as it is a good sign as I mustn’t loose weight.
Gosh!!! I have been paying Weight Watcher’s money for years so it great to be told put on weight.
They then told me my Talc op and the Chemo are working– a scan has shown the Tumour that was playing up has been stopped from growing and the others are not growing — so the life extension they gave me of my 4 months – 2 year can be extended –by how long they don’t know–but I have an extension
They asked me today if I wanted to go on with Chemo it took me by surprise so I said OH no I want to have all 6 (I have had 2 now) I never asked why they asked the question.
So I never asked what would happen if I stopped– should I stop will it be beneficial to go on.
All questions I must ask At my Pre Chemo next Monday.
Then the Doctor said they have picked up that my thyroid is enlarged so a Biop is to be arranged but I said as I have had a weight problem for years so it must hav been playing up for years to so I don’t see anything is that wrong and she agreed but just lets check so of coarse I agree.
So that’s the good news I can at least have a great Xmas and plan my holidays next year Wales, Ireland Scotland Motorhome Show and Hamble Rally for our golden Wedding May Bank Holiday
Its going to be a wild year.
