Today was also my first post-radiotherapy head scan. Stephen accompanied me to the Christie, and they saw me right on schedule at 8.30am (quite a shock to the system, given my current student lifestyle of not normally getting out of bed til that time!). As I wrote last month, there were a number of possible outcomes of the scan: no progression (best); pseudo-progression (uncertain); progression (worst case scenario).
My lovely doctor saw me pretty swiftly afterwards, and said he had taken a good look at the pictures. And the verdict is: No progression! He said my brain looks much better, and what's left of the tumour has actually shrunk, which is an extra bonus. Stephen held my hand the whole time, and then there was much happiness, relief, and a spot of tree hugging in Cringle park! Hurray for my brain!
Hurray! Great news!
