It's been a while since I've updated this blog, and nearly all of you will have heard the news. But to anyone who hasn't, this blog post is for you! The results of my halfway PET scan. Sorry for the delay, but things have been so hectic recently that I haven't had much of a chance to write.
I received a call on the 3rd of July from my consultant, who gave me the news. Some of the details are kind of fuzzy, because I was so excited that I couldn't take everything in! That's right, the news was good. Great, actually.
All my tumours have melted away and shrunk. They're not gone, and I'm not out of the woods yet, but they're nearly there. Isn't that exciting? Even my largest tumour, which was 12cm in diameter, has melted away. My improvement is "profound" and "remarkable", according to my PET results.
I will be continuing with chemotherapy (R-CHOP and IT) to kill off any cells, as well as radiotherapy, too. I am so thrilled with the news, I can't believe it.
On Tuesday the 9th, I get my first PICC line put in. Then, on Friday the 12th, I get my fourth dose of chemotherapy! I'm nearly there, and that makes me so happy.
I am keeping this entry short because the news is so overwhelming for me - but I promise, it won't be long before my next entry. A few days, at most.
I hope everyone is keeping well! Stay safe.
