Hollyboo, to me it seems that you are entering panic mode, please realise that the treatment can take many months to take full effect and would advise you to ask your consultant to confirm what I'm saying.
It works by damaging the DNA of the tumour so that it cannot reproduce itself. So that as the tumour cells die off, they cannot be replaced thus the said tumour starts to shrink, eventually it should calcify and be inactive. This of course does take time, you are letting your thoughts run away with themselves.
I know that is a great worry for you but you cannot let this rule your thoughts and life to this extent or it will make you ill. My tumour was so, so much bigger than yours, the size of a tennis ball and I am quite happy that it has started to shrink and will continue to do so.
I have researched the treatment extensively and I am happy with the first report of it's shrinkage. Please try and be relaxed, you are just making yourself so much worse with worry.
Please, please, ask your Oncologist to confirm that what I am saying is true, to put your mind at rest. I wish I could prove it to you beyond any doubt.
I do understand about that niggling, doubting voice inside your head, perhaps this period of waiting is the toughest part of the treatment. Like you I work full-time too and to start with wondered if I should give it up and concentrate on enjoying life, but so glad that I didn't. It helps to be occupied.
Do you have a Macmillan Center at the hospital? If you do, then go and have a chat with one of their nurses, they can reassure and support you.
You may even find it beneficial to tell your GP that you are having trouble dealing with this and causing you anxiety, there is help available.
