Back again! Had PET scan and MRI scan last week , and was away to Beatson this morning for results.No nasty surprises were thrown up , so I am starting radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the new year-getting a planning scan next week , and will take it from there. Was nice to see my oncologist again ,, although would have been better in social circumstances. Still , I am very grateful that there is treatment available for me , and I am very grateful for the wonderful NHS !
The MRI was a scan I had never had before , as I had been told I couldn't have one as I have metal pins and plates in my right humerus ,following an accident at work about twelve years ago.Anyway,I was able to have it -it was a bit noisy,but the staff gave me headphones to dampen down the noise-the whole procedure took about forty five minutes,so it was quite relaxing!The PET scan was relaxing too , and the results today were quite reassuring,in that the cancer is only confined to one area in the pelvis,which is gonna get zapped in the coming weeks! I think i will feel like James Bond , in that scene from Goldfinger - or maybe not x x

I have had the chemo before - on several occasions - and am glad that I still have the Portacath in , as it cuts out a lot of hassle . I am also very grateful to my baby sister , Rosie, for keeping the port in good condition,by flushing it every month x x
