i had a follow up appointment on monday ..much feared for a while now . And dear god do i feel like a numpty ! i had my radiotherapy last year commencing 12th dec and i had my last consultant app a week before that . at that last appointment i was told it was all looking good after the scans and that by the skin of my teeth it had been successful without having to use chemo this time . i was also told there was a small bit left and i would need a radiotherapy boost of a week . Now i was under the impression that i would need internal radiotherapy aswell in the new year . this i really was not looking forward to at all , the thought of anyone going near my nether regions makes me sick ! also i have been feeling ok so i've been thinking why more treatment?
my mum and law took me monday and i went in alone ..thank god! i sit down and she asks me how i am ..i told her i'm fine and i've had a few problems but they were put down to the side effects of the radio . and then she starts writting stuff down . i get out my diary and ask when my radio starts. she tells me i don't need it its all done! so i'm gobsmacked . the doctor also did a thorough exam ..which calmed my fear about my nether regions because it didn't hurt at all , and she said that there was only scar tissue left .
yipee!!!!!!. so thats it for now ..just follow up appointments ..and my remission is taken from the 12th dec which means alot to me because it means i started the new year cancer free......long may it last :)
