My Mri results

Less than one minute read time.

Well yesterday i got my results of an mri they did last week the good news is the tumour has shrunk and it hasn't spread but the infected lymph nodes have not shrunk or changed as much as hoped or would have liked, so i have to go for chemo on Monday as planned, as she said another lot won't do any harm while we wait to decide what to do.

She told me she didn't think the surgeons would operate with the lymph nodes being the way they are but she will put my case forward at the mdt meeting in 2 weeks, if they dont do it my treatment will be changed to chemo once a week and radiotheraphy daily she never said how long and i forgot to ask. I dont know how i should feel about the results she said it was "good". The appointment went by all so quickly and i never got round to asking the questions i wanted to ask but i will see her on Monday and i will make sure i have my list ready.

 

I just wanted to share these with you all.

Hoping all is well

Take Care

    hi  sarah, i allways forget to  ask stuff as well when i see my specialist......do you have a mac nurse ? if not tell your gp you want one....

    then when you get home and you think about the things you wish you had asked, phone mac nurse....mac nurse will visit you and explain anything you need to know and find the answers to any questions you may have...

    at least the lymph nodes have not got bigger so that is the good news...

    our cancers are different for sure....but the chemo i had soon zapped the lumps  [ lymph nodes ] ...maybe they will go with a stronger chemo ??

    best way foward is get a mac nurse then you allways have someone you can yell for if anything crops up...

    all the best....xx

    Hi all,

    Wonder how you are doing Sarah?

    I also have a great Mac nurse who is really helpful.  I am due for my 6 wk check middle of this month so keeping my fingers x'd.  I had brachytherapy (internal radiation) the last week of January and before each treatment had an MRI but haven't had one since.  I was told while in hospital having the brachy that they were pleased with the way I was responding but not sure exactly sure what this meant so will have to wait and see. I did have it in one lymph node so hoping this has cleared.  Thought I would have another MRI before mtg the specialist but it doesn't look like it.
