I havn't posted since February, and that is good news. In fact I have been feeling better and better - yes I'm still taking the tablets, and they are definitely helping to stop me killing L; not all the desire to kill him being his fault, poor thing. I am generally more balanced overall, and moving back towards the energetic, positive person I vaguely remember as being me. I have been or several internal interviews within Dell for better, more interesting, or at the very least DIFFERENT, jobs, and I believe I am coming over well. All looks lovely.
But, oh! the universe cannot let such pleasures continue, eh?
So I had my scan in February, including thorax (lung cavity). That showed a teeny nodule in the right lung, which could be nothing, it was a clean round shape, and could easily be the sort of passing nodule that we all get; but they don't like to take any chances so in March I had a PET scan - the sort where they inject you with a radioactive product and you glow afterwards. Then yesterday I had a follow up normal scan. Surgeon called me back same day and said nodule was still there, whereas he would like it to have gone. He is not sure about it, so he is going to discuss it at the weekly team meet on Tuesday. I'm in Spain on hols. next week, and he said he wouldn't bother me while I was on holiday, I should call him when I get back. Depending how tense or not I am, I may call him from Spain anyway. 'Don't want to bother you while you're on holiday and anyway you need to relax' sounds like he expects it to lead to treatment needs, or at least further investigation, rather than a 'don't worry it's fine'.
So anyway my brain has turned back into a sponge, it is quite amazing how I cannot concentrate. Work has told me to stop for the rest of the week which I am, but I found doing something was necessary, so I went and cut hedges for as long as my pathetic hedge-cutter's battery lasted. Am recharging and will do more, then will take residue to the dump. Busy is better than brooding.
So watch this space, if you happen still to be following.
I really do not want them to say 'start treatment immediately' and bugger up my trip to the UK.
Welcome to my blog
When I was really scared and ill, other people's cancer blogs helped me, so I hope this one can help others. It is also a real security space for me, because you don't get over cancer that fast... I'm still on the journey. Sometimes it's fun!
