Me again.......

Thought I had better update - whats been happening??

Well I phoned chemo nurse to discuss whether my scan had been discussed at x ray meeting, and it had, and he also had copy of letter (which I have since received), from onc . Basically at the x ray meeting, it was agreed no new growths on my scan, and the cancerous nodule was confirmed as just having grown 2mm in a year. They did discuss whether surgery would be an option, and it probably would be, but they would probably like to sit on it, and scan me in another year - which seems a bit long to me!! However the letter did say if I want referred to cardio thoracic to discuss options then thats fine too, so after discussion with D, thats what I am going to do.
To be honest, if it was thoracotomy, that is a major op, so its not a decision I would jump into, but if it could be done keyhole then that would be a better option. I have lots of questions I need to ask, and after that lots of thinking.
IF I got the nodule removed, I would technically have no active cancer in my body - altho there could obviously be microscopic cells elsewhere that just do not show up on scan yet. Guess its a question if I want to risk surgery, or wrist leaving the cancer to grow further then start treatment again - not an easy one!!!

Thats the health news. The school reunion is now only 1 week today - the excitement is really building, so has the list of people coming, and the list of fab raffle prizes. Really looking forward to it, cant wait.

Was out to pub yesterday with old school friend F, went out for lunch - and got home at 0130!!! Was supposed to have old sick kids lunch today, but I switched off my alarm this morning, fell asleep again, and didn't wake up till 1130 - the lunch started at 12, so there was no way I was going to make it - shame I was looking forward to it.

Think thats about it for now
Bye for noooooo
