Mike you are doing brilliantly! Half way there is amazing. The endless hospital visits get tiring both physically and emotionally, so be kind to yourself and rest up when you can. Take care xx
Friday 8th September 10:30 Train from Stortford at 07:15, tube from Tottenham Hale to Warren Street. 08:30 Blood test at the McMillan Cancer Hospital 09:30 Ultrasound scan at the ENT Hospital next door 10:45 Canular inserted for and MRI at 11ish, then back to ultrasound for a biopsy.
Friday 15th March 2024 Into the city again to UCLH for my 3rd post treatment PET scan. Same as before, injected with the radioactive trace, an hour of rest whilst it circulates then a full body plus a specific head and neck scan. Takes about an hour and a half from start to finish. As I'm now back at work 5 days a week I went over to Aldgae and spent the rest of the day on the office. Now sat on a train at Liverpool St commuting home, like the old times..... I have a telephone appointment next Thursday so should get the result then.
17th June 2024 Back at UCLH three months after the last scan. Nothing major to report, still get tired more than usual, dry mouth overnight and still not 100% on the taste of Cadburys Fruit and Nut. My lymph node has been steadily shrinking over the course of the last three scans and nothing i have felt has made me believe that's not still ongoing. We'll find out later this week. Fingers crossed everything will run to time, I got bumped from Friday last week as one of the machines was down. It is busier in Nuclear Medicine reception than it has been before.
