More good news

Last night we got the provisional results from my scans this week, and so far it's all looking good. The various growths in my pelvis area have all reduced singnificantly, so much so the consultant radiologist belevies I could have the catheter out. That would be in a couple of weeks at the earliest, as it would have to be in the right time frame within my treatment cycle, and will need the agrement of my other consultants. The other good news is that a very good proportion of the tumours on my liver have started to turn jelly like, this means they are starting to die. This is quite unusual after just 2 cycles as they are normally quite slow to react. So all in all, this news is just about as good as I could have hoped for. We just hope this improvement continues. What it means long term we don't know, but as usual will continue to do all I can to keep improving.

As you might know I start my next cycle on Monday, and have quite a busy few days before then. Today I am going into work to say hello to everyone. Tomorrow Adam and Jerermy are coming round to fire up the Nissan, it's sat there for a few months now and really needs a good run, not on the roads of course as its still not legal. Sunday I am taking the family out for brunch to the areodrome, which they are all looking forward too.

Hope you all have a good weekend
