I got my scan results today, and it was a bit of a mixed bag. On the positive side, all the tumours in my lungs and liver have shrunk and all the fluid around my lungs has gone. One of the tumours in my heart has shrunk and the fluid around my heart has reduced which is all fantastic news and probably explains why my coughing has reduced so much. Which in turn has reduced the pain I was in around my chest.
On the negative, one of the tumours in my heart increased quite significantly and the tumours in my breasts and abdomen have also become more pronounced. The worst bit of news though is I now have bone metastasis, which means the cancer has now travelled into my bones. At the moment it is just in my left hip, and I am hoping that's as far as it will go!! I will have to start concentrating on getting it out of there now too.
I am not surprised about the tumour in the heart growing as I have been experiencing a lot of tightness in my chest and a bit of shortness of breath. That's really what I take most of my breakthrough Morphine for, tightness in the chest, I don't have much pain anymore.
So I'm not really sure how I feel about all of that, of course I am thrilled about the reductions, but I can't help but be disappointed about the progression to my bones. Shit I hate cancer! It has no heart does it! It truly is a beast.
Anyway, on a brighter note we are going for our first trip in the camper trailer tomorrow. Just for the weekend but nonetheless it will be an adventure and the boys are so very excited. Matty couldn't go to sleep tonight because he is so excited about tomorrow night, sleeping in the camper trailer. We are jst going up to Toowoon Bay on the Central Coast. It's really nice up there so I am really looking forward to it too.
I am not feeling so flash tonight, I am really crook in the tummy, don't know what's brought that on......probably dinner, I cooked for the first time in months!
I might make a dash for bed, I'll fill you in on our weekend away when I get back xxx
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!
