Having been told I had a nodule in my stomach following the CT scan I was alarmed as nothing had been mentioned previously. It is 13mm and could be scar tissue. It has not got larger since the chemo. There is another the same size in the skin of the bowel and I am told it is not in the bowel. My Ca125 results are good - down to 8.8 and 30 is normal. I am told the Ca125 blood test will also monitor the one outside the bowel.
My blood will be tested a week before my next appointment and a follow up scan - so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
In the meantime my Mac nurse is going to get the doctor to confirm on my medical record that he considers me fit to travel. Some insurance companies request this information. Now all I can do is try and remember which company I was looking up when searching for holiday insurance!
