Update on Mum

Hospital appointment today. The oncologist showed us mums X-ray from March and the one taken yesterday which showed no change, which was great.

Been taking Afanatib now for past 10 days, now they say they’ve got their base line and he hopes in 2 weeks time the new X-ray will show shrinkage - we’d still be happy with no change!!!

So far still no side effects, mums back is hurting less now needing no pain killers (she has two lesions one L5 and one T7).

Having a nuclear bone scan on Monday. 🤞🤞
