Can't remember that GA, so much goes through my brain I don't store everything :D

The only thing for it, is keep on keeping on - I'm hope the sun may show up some time today so I have better be ready for when it does as it may not stop around for long.

Hi Bev, I feel better than I have for many months but I guess I'll know for sure tomorrow when the oncologist rings with the latest scan report. Somedays I'm going for the op and the chemo other days I just do not know. Would love to get away for a change but the covid gets in the way. Take care, keep in touch Jane

Gingerapple in reply to chubby2x22

Hi Jane,

W ht at did the Oncologist say about your scan, should have called you now? Yes, getting away would be really great right now. Flu season and Covid, I am just going to batten down and try to pamper myself any way I can until Spring๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’โคโ˜€๏ธ

Fingers crossed for you with your followup CT scan. When you get copied in to the clinic letter, please do not be over concerned if there is the phrase "partial response". I have that phrase all over my subsequent clinic letters and 2.5 years later it is still slowly shrinking and no activity detected.

Realistically you cannot expect it to have gone "poof" and have disappeared, that would have caused untold radiation damage to your whole body, it is not like surgery where it is cut out. Remember it will not stop you from exercising, in fact it will be all to the good, I carried on working during and after my treatment. Wishing you well and hope you do not have any side effects from it.

Gingerapple in reply to 2greys

Good morning 2greysโ˜•๐Ÿ˜Š

Thank you for explaining this to me, I might have possibly wondered what that was but thank you in advance, I will not be shocked or surprised. I have no problems waiting. I had no real side effects really, a bit of a cough though now. I have always exercised even after the blood clot, sadly I have to take a break from some sport, my knee is playing up. Thanks always, 2greys, and I will be back with my results in due course. Have a lovely Sunday๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’
