September 5th 2013-Going to Beatson to get result of PET scan.There are so many scenarios that I go through in my mind as to what the results will be,but there is no point in trying to second guess- the results will be known soon enough!
Bill and I took the train to Hyndland station,which is adjacent to the Beatson.We were a bit early,but I would rather be early than be rushing about at the last minute.We were eventually lead in to the doctor's room and he told us that the scan had shown three abnormalities rather than the original one.They were of a similar size and he said that surgery would probably not be an option at this point.The areas affected were in the peritoneum.My lungs and liver were clear and all the bloods I had taken were normal.
The doctor said that I would probably be best getting chemotherapy again-a slightly different regime which would not last as long as the previous one.Side effects could be diarrhoea,upset stomach,and a rash.
After we left the hospital,I was busy sending texts to family and friends-isn't technology wonderful!

The upshot is that I am now waiting to go and have another PICC line inserted and then it's back on the bandwagon! I feel I am in a better condition than I was in last time,as I had just had major surgery before the last round. Oh well,onwards and upwards.....again!
