3 Too Many

Monday 11 March Ramble- good news in a way day.

“Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.” – Maori Proverb

Fairly settled sleep by my standards, probably due to the amount of pain killers that I had to consume yesterday to be able to get through the day. Put it this way I was comfortably numb! It’s the best place to be.  Though the fog from yesterday is still hanging over me so work from home seen as I’m also very wobbly on my feet again today. Talk to Nurse Maude about the weekend events and they are going to call me tomorrow to go over things a bit more. Sue gets home and we get ready to had of to the head off you the hospital to get the results of last week’s MRI SCANS from the oncology specialist. The meeting goes extremely well.and the news is double headed so I will try to paint full picture now for you.  But the best news is that it is still 3 to many, as in there is not a number 4 tumor now growing as could of been a possibility.  But the big mofo has been active and has grown in size since the scan at the beginning of December. This growth is what has caused Wilson to start the misbehaving again. With the bad tissue pushing on the good which causes misfire of the brain.The second biggest thing today is that the pain in my back has been mis diagnosed from my last scan where we were told that the cancer had spread from my brain to the sheath on  my spine.  What was showing there is now not visible and the only thing they can see that is causing back pain is a slipped disc.

So there you have it – a good and bad day in a way but I’m smiling so will take the victory,  hope that you’ve all had a good news day too Take care all – I am :-)

Kia Kaha.

    So glad that the cancer hasn’t spread like the stupid thing tends to do. Fingers crossed wilson can be brought under control and the now you know where you are at with your back the pain can be managed better than just sleeping in silly positions in a chair. Keep fighting and blogging Ant you are having small victories that motivate and inspire more people than you will ever know.

    Well I think that’s good Tony – I mean you still have the pain but not nasty cells creeping around and no more tumours. Off to get my idiot leg looked at – c’est la vie! You take care.

    Tony
    Sure is a double edged sword, but always great to get at least something positive. Hopefully at least now with a diagnosis of the slipped disc they can do something else to help.
    So sorry about the growth of the big MOFO- not much else I can say…. Big hug
