The saga continues

Spoke to Kate the specialist nurse today. There’s good news and bad news...

First off, the latest biopsy samples, one of lymph and one from the mass, were adequate for analysis and did not contain any atypical cells. However, the team continue to be suspicious of the lump. Not so good is that the PET scan found a hot spot on my liver, so the next step is an MRI scan of that area since the CT scan didn’t find anything there. If it’s a new little primary, then it could be excised like any other cancer that’s caught early but if it’s a secondary from the pancreas tumour then it’s not good at all.

And I guess it might just be some artefact of the scan and not really anything at all. I’m down for an urgent MRI, probably next week.

Meanwhile, I’m going to speak to my GP tomorrow as taking enough Zomorph to properly control the pain seems to be stopping me from peeing properly, so I need to change analgesics.

Once again, many thanks to all of you who’ve written or commented with support – it really is appreciated by both Sheila and myself!
