CT Scan results tomorrow - fingers crossed

I have everything crossed for you Barb xx 

Fingers crossed Barb. My CT scan results are ready tomorrow following immunotherapy cycle 4 and also seeing my oncologist. Let’s hope for good news on both fronts.

I saw my oncologist today and my scan results report has got delayed as the radiologist is sick. But my oncologist has reviewed the scan images herself and thinks the immunotherapy has stabilised the cancer in my lungs and may have improved things. She can’t see evidence of progression elsewhere. No definitive answers until the formal results next week but she is hopeful I am stable. After two years of things getting progressively worse, this could finally be some positive news. 
Barb, really hoping you had some positive news from your scan.

Hugs, Barb xx

Morning all

Eventually got in to see my Oncologist after a three hour wait (my appointment was at 10am) Had good news, my tumours have regressed further but the little buggers won’t go away, just taking a back seat at the moment!

My CA125 blood shows my tumour markers have gone down from 100 to 15 which is additional good news so hopefully no treatment until the New Year fingers crossed.

I asked how many times can a body effectively handle chemotherapy and he’s honest, he said the second treatment could be nearly as effective as the first but subsequent treatment can cause other side effects to the body such as bone density. He could look to vary the chemo given as well as the frequency but people tend to prefer the 21 day cycle as it gives you a bit of “away time” rather than attending weekly.

He said in the meantime there are constant trials coming up and he’s always looking into them. He reiterated if I felt anything was amiss to contact my CNS or his secretary and I feel privileged to have him for my Consultant.

The staff were, as always brilliant, brought us in hot drinks and biscuits as the time went on. My bestie, who’d come with me for moral support, had to wait by the lifts until I got called in but she was also offered refreshments which I thought was lovely. They kept apologising for the delay but I never expect to get in on time.

So I shall enjoy the summer, hugs, Barb xx
