Visit to hospital today to see Dr Davies again, with Sam. This time at the general, 3rd hospital this week, 4th overall.
Great news, the stage is 1A, the CT scan shows no other sites. So I am at very early stages. Dr Davies is very confident that the treatment will be very successful. He also said that I won't need the "Bone Marrow Biopsy" - didn't like the hidea of that at all. We discuss the possibility of a clinical trial that would involve possibly less treatment. Need to think about it, Sam is not sure, but asks lots of questions. Otherwise the proposed course is 4 months of chemo + 3 weeks radio.
The advice to not to travel to any exoctic countries during treatment, so I won't be going to Ireland this summer.
Plenty of time to chat with the doc. My lumps seem to be a bit harder now, this may be because the swelling has gone down and the numbness has gone. They are now 3cm instead of 6cm when I had the ultrasound.
Chemo sessions to start next Friday.
