Hi all,
Well the results are in.....
Scan showed no active cancer
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 relapsingThe 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
A great big Hug from me logie, the fact that there is no active cancer is really good news. As others have said, wait until you've discussed more with the experts. You've come such a long way, time for a glass of fizz:happylove Nanny to 2 Cherubs :happylove0 -

Thanks everyone, am feeling a bit more positive now
DH took the afternoon off work in the end so I've at least had company.
I've also had another phone call from my specialist nurse to say I can stop the clexane injections :j Have to say my tummy is rather sore after 6 months of jabbing myself daily so that was very welcome news
David., DH and I already joked about me having the radio and then doing an AngelinaDon't think it'll be an option i'm offered though.
Guess everyone has some risk of these things, at least i'll be closely monitored and i'll be on high alert myself so should catch anything early.
Have put the Champagne in the fridge:)

Just to rehash the argument as it might have been bilgey:
-Win 8 is miles better as an operating system than any other Windows OS, faster, safer
-it's not very user-friendly
-you can make it user-friendly by downloading Classic Shell free of charge
-Microsoft are releasing 8.1 upgrade free of charge which will give you the option to adopt a classic Windows 7 look
-upgrades from XP Pro or Vista are highly advisable IMHO as those OSs are now unsupported (which is why you can't download the latest Internet Explorer versions etc)
-an upgraded PC is effectively a new PC in my experience (I've upgraded 2 XP Pros to Win 8 and they are brilliant just like new)
-You need 2GB RAM or more for Win 8 to run properly
-if your PC is 64bit ready (my 2 XP Pros were) but running a 32GB operating system, you can upgrade to 64bit by downloading this upgrade to a USB stick on a 64bit PC then using the USB stick to install Win 8 in your 32 bit OS PC. Otherwise you'll just upgrade your 32 bit to 32 bit.0 -

Good news about the active cancer.
Hopefully it will be a clearer choice when you have your meeting.
I see you as more of a strider than a plodder
And remember that old saying 'Don't let the bu&&ers grind you down'0
