Hi All, it seems like a few of us are getting good news at the moment, long may it last. Here's mine...
My husband and I had a face to face appointment with my Oncology Registar today to see how things are going at home.
I asked the $64,000 question, what's next?
The steroids have stabilised the progression of spinal cord compression so that's no longer an issue.
I'm being offered some fairly light weight chemo with the expectation that it will deliver 6 months of life, and it's already been approved for funding.
Any change in my condition is likely to be slow and gradual, no surprises and I'm not likely to have a stroke or anything similar.
I've got a couple more weeks to recover from the kidney infection, and can change my mind at any time. Side effects of chemo are dose related so there's wriggle room there too.
We feel like we've won the lottery, it's absolutely priceless. That's a big change from 2-6 weeks with treatment 2-6 months without. Yay me! xx
Just thinking , would that have been the good news you gave your son's? I was curious because you didn't elaborate on that and I'm too much of a gentleman to ask 
Tvman xx
Stable for 6 months 
Surrendered my licence, that ship has sailed, but lots of cheuffeurs in the wings xx
