Health Update
I saw my consultant today.
He suspects the person who wrote the report on my brain CT scan is getting mixed up. Old irradiated inert tumours can look the same as new active ones. So perhaps I don’t have a brain tumour at all. He is going to arrange an MRI scan which will provide him with more detail.
The tests they have done give no indication of my serious sternum pain, and there is no other test that would help, so all they can do is give me stronger give me pain killers. For now, it is co-codamol.
They couldn’t explain why I suddenly became so ill so suddenly on the 19th Sept and said it was just the progression of my disease.
He was brave enough to answer my question on what he would estimate as my life expectancy. He thinks it will be several months rather than longer. Strangely I don’t feel emotional about that. My initial thought was to invest my money in instant access accountsrather than higher interest 5 year bonds!
They are going to irradiate and destroy my new spine tumour on Monday.
My hospital and doctors are brilliant!
