Nothing changes

After having the third EUS (endoscopic ultrasound) and a PET scan, I’d been hoping to get some feedback after last Friday’s MDT case conference, but Kate never rang and she’s on leave this week. This leaves us all up in the air still but does imply nothing alarming like metastases were found. Would have been nice to be told that, though. Similarly, the repeat CT scan showed that the mass had not increased in size in two months.

On the plus side, every attempt to find cancer cells or definite signs of a tumour that fails increases the chances that this was a chronic infection, now treated with hefty doses of antibiotics. In which case, I’m not sure what further treatment is available, though steroids are a possibility, I think.

Meanwhile, we all have to wait and see...
