Cutting to the chase my scan results are good. My consultant has not looked at detail but all swollen lymph nodes, including the worrisome one deep inside are down nicely. He seemed pretty happy...so am I to say the least!
More detail in next appointment in 3 weeks. Also small lumps I found on my back a while back - that I have been keeping quiet about on blog - are very likely lypomas (spelling?) - harmless fatty tissue most of us have. Amazing how paranoid you get about your body going through something like this. Doc says they did not show up on CT scan plus ultra sound results good.
Other bonus is no planned Bone marrow check at the end. He will do another scan at end before I go on maintenance therapy at end of chemo.
So 5 down and 3 to go.
Very bizarre being in the hospital for chemo with Clare and my new born baby. All the nurses were coo'ing over her while all I could think about was how do I get my blood test done!
So far a little tired but hard to judge as we have baby Lily to look after although clare is doing most of the hard work through the night.
She is a good wee baby all round and the kids love her. Clares mum heads home to Scotland on Saturday so we are on our own from then. Her help has been invaluable this past few weeks.
Sounds like good news Al. Really pleased to hear it.
