Got some really good news from my oncologist today. I had a scan a couple of weeks ago, 3 months after my liver ablation procedure. The scan found no signs of cancer. In some ways I am finding it hard to believe this as I have been through a couple of years of treatment and side effect hell to get to this point, including a previous failed ablation, and a serious immunotherapy related adverse event that damaged my kidneys, thyroid and lungs, which I am still not fully recovered from. There have been significant impacts to my energy levels and general mobility too. There’s obviously no knowing how long this will last but it’s time to try to work on my fitness and general capacity. I have also been cleared to come off the steroids I have been weaning down since the IRAE last September.
Currently on holiday in Sicily, will post a longer update on my blog when I get a chance.
Hi, Well that's a new one for me. I even asked my sister if she had heard of a weenie and she said never! Her daughter lives in Edinburgh and we asked her too, no never was the answer again! Maybe it's a 'pet' name he and his dad have for one another!
Enjoy your holiday!
Love Annette x
Oh did make me giggle….Weegie is a slang term referring to people from Glasgow in Scotland, which is used as a noun or adjective. It is a contraction of the word Glaswegian, referring to people from Glasgow. I’d worry if hubby and his wee dad started callining each other weenies, that’s a whole different thing altogether.
