Well it is 3 days since my last literary effort and a bit has happened since then.

We had a visit with our radiation oncologist, Dr Chee, on Tuesday to review the results of Monday's scan. Firstly they were good and showed that the original tumours had shrunk, not lots but any shrunk is good. They also showed that the right sort of activity was still happening. But then the bad news that he had found 3 new tumours, the first a small one behind the kidneys. Then one, just a spot, below the belly button and another spot also just under the skin and nearby, but I did not take note of exactly where. They are probably too small at this stage to treat but that decision will be left to our medical oncologist who is running the show. We had an appointment to see him late in October but have rung his rooms to see about bringing that appointment forward.

I guess that this is the nature of the disease and we will have to used to it. But it doesn't make it any easier and it would be nice to have a way of stopping it in it's tracks!
