Ok had scan last night. Just had a meeting with the consultant and the news isn’t great. There is progression in the tumour at T5 & T6 vertebrae and new progression possibly at T10 vertebrae and new progression at T11 T12 L1 L2 L3 & L4. Plan going forward is radio therapy followed by a new stronger drug regime which will have stronger side effects.
I’ve had better days to be fair.
Richard I am so very sorry to read this. A stark reminder of how quickly things can change. Let’s get this radiotherapy started as soon as possible, get things back under control again for you.
You brought us sunshine, I wish I could give you some back to make you feel brighter. Sending a hug xx
That is definitely a bit shit, to quote Ted. Hope new plan works. Life is a roller coaster isnt it - nice holiday and returning with sunshine for us, and then some bloody rain clouds. Fingers crossed radio and new regime keeps you going and comfortable.
