Mike's Treatment Diary

Thursday 17th August Just had a call from the UCLH oncologist. PET scan all clear - tongue/primary site no cancer MRI scan - right hand side lymph node secondary  site shrunk a lot but not entirely gone. Oncologist not 100% happy so I'm going for another MRI and an Ultrasound at UCLH to confirm, this mat possibly result in an operation to remove the remaining cells. Good news, not out of the woods yet though.....

11:00 Thursday 10th August I'm in UCLH Nuclear Medicine being prepped for my PET scan. Cross everything for a positive outcome... 

Sunday 6th August 20:30 It's been almost a month since my last diary entry. I've been pretty much stable for the last few weeks, dry throat so drinking fluids regularly during the day and waking up every 1.5 hours overnight.  We've been to Wales for the last week or so, sea air, change of scenery and meeting aunts, cousins and old friends. I had an MRI scan a couple of weeks ago and this thursday is the long awaited PET scan at UCLH, the results of which will hopefully confirm the cancer is gone and I can start to plan return to work.
