saga continues, 17-11-10

Hi everyone

Fran came with me again today, gee she is tolerant & so wonderful, wouldnt cope without her being with me. Thanks Fran, I know u know how much I appreciate ur time, love, care, concern, etc

I was asked to participate in a trial. The surgeon put tiny wee pins in around where the tumour had been that show up on ct & will be of use in showing how the space created by the tumour shrinks as time goes by. A radiotherapy nurse is using it for her phd. had long chat with her about her research, etc

saw Katrina, the surgeon & she is happy with how its all going, i dont need to see her for 6 months again now.

Dr Ahern, radiology intern talked to us about what is involved with chemo & radiotherapy. 

Had CT scan regarding the above trial & they showed us the wee pins. 

On Dec 2 I have next appt & this is with the chemo oncologist. Looks like I will have 4 lots of chemo 6 weeks apart, wait a month & then have 25 sessions of radiotherapy every day for 5 weeks. so basically the next 6 months r taken care of!!!

I have a job interview next Mon, so fingers xd - I wont be telling them anything about this in the short term, wait till i get a job offer which I accept!!!

gonna put this on facebook now too....
