Just an update on me. I went to have my 6th session of r/t yesterday and was told the Dr wanted to see me afterwards. Panic mode set in! Well, as uncomfortable as i could be as i am still suffering with this UTI and not getting to the loo before the Dr spotted me, i sat down with him and he opened up my folder and said he had the results of the last scan. My heart was racing - what was he gonna say?
Ok, he said he was rather puzzled and that apparently my scan was quite a good one but somehow my tumour had got smaller all by itself!? (I hadnt started my r/t till after the scan). I wasnt sure what to say, but i was so relieved at hearing this, then i immediately thought it must be something technical gone wrong. The Dr was quite happy with what info he had and so that was that. How strange. Smaller or not though i still have it :-( and it still needs treating, but i felt so happy and near enough skipped out of the hospital.
When i got home though i started to think differently and i felt cross that perhaps some kind of mistake had been made with the scans and how dreadful that is. We all put our complete faith into the treatment we are offered and dont expect queries, good or bad. Hey Ho.................
