check up

1 minute read time.

been and had my check up, blood results are normal..

he felt lumps in neck, and armpit, he said armpit felt lumpy and if the one in armpit gets bigger then they will do a biopsy, he said just to be cautious, and if it gets bigger to go back...as he thinks at the minute its not sizeable for a biopsy. hes not going to scan me til april time, unless things change, and the trials nurse had a little conversation with me and mum outside the room, and said its a pain that the Dr isnt as concerned as we all are, but to definately go back if i change, or if night sweats continue, but she thinks im doing well, and that me being worried is natural, and if i feel the lumps get bigger then to go back.. dr has said that the lumps wont get bigger over night,but in time if they are anything they may... they thought lump in armpit might have had something to do with the tattoo, but as it was there before the tattoo theyve said ok maybe not. but otherwise, all ok, and to go back end of march =)

so yeah im ok.. unless the lump in armpit changes and they will then do a biopsy... so still all clear... we think! lol =)  hoping that makes sense.....

oh and march/april time il be having another lung function test 2, to check that breathing is improving etc... ohh and saw about 4 of the chemo nurses today, and they all said how lovely i was looking with my hair, and that im looking healthy =)

    Im glad he wasnt overly concerned, all you can do is just keep an eye on lumps - maybe just check once a week otherwise you mayn not notice a change.

    After everything you,ve been through its hard sometimes to accept that all is finally well. You do look great the nurses are right, so keep up the good work!!

    Take care xxx

    Emma,

    What a relief that they are not worried - although frustrating that they still are not taking it as seriously as you and also do not appear to realise quite how badly you feel about it!

    March / April seems a long time to wait for another scan, but at least they've said they'll do a biopsy if things change before then.  I know it will be really hard, but  try not to worry too much Emma. Being positive seems to have such  a good effect on everything to do with this and at least the chemo nurses (who know more than people give them credit for) have told you how healthy you look today!  Praying for continued good health and clear results. Love and hugs, Rose x x x(((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))) x x x

    Hi Em

    This is great news.  Since the Dr is not concerned too much, and since the nurses did not say anything, things must look really good.  Hopefully you will enjoy the New Year's Eve party - what with the new 'good looks' and all that!

    All the very best

    Hi Emz,

    Sorry to hear about your lumps. But if they do get bigger go back and see your Dr straight away. Better to be safe than sorry. Glad your looking so well. You look after yourself/ See Ya.!!!!

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx
