Hi all, went to hospital for my post brachetherapy appointment - wasn't looking forward to it but so glad I went.  I saw the main consultant and obviously she knew I had issues. We spoke at length and the outcome was that she apologised and understood where I was coming from.  Papermoon spoke so much sense and she was right the treatment I've had is in line with the guidelines I am low grade and low stage.  The consultant said they don't know why I reoccured at 6 months and they were surprised we spoke about me being s gastric bypass person and I did have an issue with my immune system. They have taken blood tests to look at this. The best news is that I have made an excellent recovery from the brachy I have healed and have no major side affects. Also I am clear, she reiterated that my scan was clear and she can feel no lumps or bumps.  I did mention the cough I have and she checked my neck lymphs and said everything feels ok. Next appointment 3 months with the radiologist.  I felt much better just hoping that I keep in long term remission. Onwards and upwards. Hugs to you all who gave me support. Dawn xx

  • , great news Dawn that things have been explained and you getting an apology. You sound so much better in yourself, I think having clarity really does help. Its not great when things occur that are seemly brushed aside as nothing, it really doesn't help your mind processing everything that's happened. I so pleased for you that tests have come back clear this really is wonderful news indeed, here's for long term remission Champagne

  • Thanks G Bear you are so supportive. I think Papermoon made so much sense and as far as we can know I have no evidence of disease and that is a positive  so I'm holding onto that. Hugs to you Dawn x

  • Hello Dawn, I’m delighted to hear that your appointment went so much better than you were anticipating and that everything is ok. Fabulous news! I’m doing a little happy dance for you Dancer I’m glad your consultant had understood your point of view and that you have both come to a new understanding. I know you have the ongoing immune issue to deal with but I hope you’ll be able to relax a little now and do the things you enjoy x

    Dawn that is great. You must be so relieved. I’m doing a happy dance for you too. I go for my last Brachytherapy on Friday and have everything crossed. I don’t think the worry of recurrence ever goes away. 

    Hugs to you and everyone else here who knows the fear xx

  • Thank you Granny A I hope things go well for you too. Xxxx
