CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR

 Stevecam 

we’re not long home from seeing the Oncologist and our daughter had a glass ready for him . 

before he said anything OH said will it be a dram or a cola tonight 

the Oncologist advised he’s very happy with OH bloods and asked how his RT went  once he was finished  so he told him to have a dram .

I said to him I felt we set off on the wrong foot . He apologised profusely that he told me to put my questions away .  

asked how many lymph nodes involved so he advised us that there are two one next to the prostrate and one in inquinal lymph node but it’s very close to a main artery hence they won’t do anything . He did say if there is anything that comes up as a trial  he would get in touch 

he said he would see us in three months and go onto 3 monthly bloods too .  A bit of an emotional rollercoaster today . 
oh and he said go on holiday and enjoy .

i honestly don’t know how I would have got through these past months without all you good people supporting us with words of wisdom and at times laughter .

Good news!

God bless, and enjoy your holiday.

Hello Liz (johnam) 

Well that looks to have gone better than anticipated and I think you have the answers you want and are at peace with the oncologist. 

Three monthly bloods and a review sounds good to me and as soon as OH is feeling up to it I think the holiday is in order - you both deserve one. .

I will join your OH in a "small peaty dram" later on. As we are expecting a -9c tonight I might let Lorraine have one too (and the heating on!!) .

Best wishes - Brian xx

O thats great nearly brought me to tears Bless you both!

Thank you Brian .  Enjoy the weekend dram with Lorraine. When your up in Linlithgow you are welcome to drop in for a dram anytime xx

Hope your OH doesn't have too many drama (well, go on, he deserves them). One or four won't harm him.

As for the Oncologist, he's got it right!

Mine will be a G & T.

Cheers!!!

Awe thank you Richards Dad 

it’s been a long time coming to accept the Oncologists words but he was great today and humbled by what we felt about our last two consultations . Upwards & Onwards once OH can walk unaided . He’s desperate to get out walking . 

take care and thank you

I am sure we will make time - I will catch you before we come up to Scotland in August - but thanks.

Kind regards - Brian xx

Good news!

And it's good you know which nodes are affected, so I hope you can rest easier from that. 

Plan and go that holiday !!
