    Hi all,

    Well the results are in.....

    Scan showed no active cancer :D

    However, a large tumour that they have renamed 'scar tissue' remains. If it stays there at that size there is a fair chance of the Hodgkins relapsing :( The only way to reduce the tumour now is with radiotherapy which will significantly increase my risk of breast cancer :( There was a big meeting this morning discussing my case and my consultant and the 'experts' couldn't agree on the best course of action, so they have left it up to me to decide :eek: They are arranging an appointment for me to discuss pros/cons and statistics to help with my choice.

    I should really be concentrating on the fact that the cancer has gone but am struggling to celebrate at the moment. Such a big

    Was really hoping to be put it all behind us but it seems i'm not at the finish line yet. Must plod on though.

    Thanks for all of your support :A

    Oh Logie. Good news! :)

    So sorry that you still have such difficult decisions to make though and the possibility of more treatment :(

    Hopefully once it all sinks in and you've had a chat about all the pros and cons the most positive thing will start to shine through a bit more. You've come so far and maybe you're not at the finish line yet. But you've run a cracking race so far ;)

    Good news about no active cancer, but hard decisions to make, after you have slept on it and talked things through, I am sure you will make the right decision. You are such an inspiration. Take care and things will improve.

    Patty is right, this is good news and I am so pleased for you. You are such an amazing person- I truly admire you and you will deal with this in the same amazing way that you have dealt with everything else. xxx

    Thank you to everyone whose advice has helped me in my desperate quest to make ends meet. x

    EDIT-Back on the quest, I've been away too long!
