Tuesday 20th May

I've had enough of barbed wire on the blog, and tears and rubbish news, and sadness, I'm moving on.....It's really exhausting and emotionally draining crying and being miserable, although I think being given the past week or so, highly understandable.

It's late, I've got much to say but as my two finger typing is slow, and three of us are going to London on the red -eye tomorrow for Becky's hospital visit, I'll keep it brief and fully update later on this week.

I went to see NM at the hospital today, thankfully Jack was able to accompany me, and was very useful with tissues ready, but also a firm stare that seemed to say "don't you dare cry!"

The result of their discussion with the Marsden team was as follows;-

1. Get her over here for a PET scan ( and as Becky said, "does that mean you can take Jessie in with you?") Er, No, but I wish i could....
2. We will take out that enlarged lymph node that could well be causing the rise in the blood markers and potentially going bad.
3. The scan may show up ( as it is very detailed) possible other active Cancer cells, if this is the case I may need follow up Chemotherapy.

I have lots of questions on all of the above, and will process them all in due time and get some answers. In answer to queries I've had already.....
No, I don't know when this will happen, but they reckon days not weeks, hopefully the operation will be a laparoscopy, not another huge incision, but the scan needs to be done first.

As a postscript, NM did  say that I MUST carry on with the sport as it is VERY important, I cant emphasise that enough.......... he did .......really, Ok well not the last bit, but he did say carry on, and that IS the truth.

The netball training was fabulous tonight, two hours of training and playing, hard graft and just what the doctor ordered.....!!!

In the words of Winston Churchill ..........KBO !
