Home Tomorrow

Steve is coming home tomorrow


He had the MRI scan today but it wasn’t until later on in the day and Tom has just come in to see us.

It looks like their maybe some Necrosis but Tom doesn’t agree!

The radiologist who reported feels that their looks to be some in the shoulder joint, from what we understand this is where the blood supply is not getting through to the shoulder joint, which is causing the pain and restricted movement.

Tom believes this is not correct and feels that the pain and stiffness is a side effective from IL2 and as such has caused an arthritic joint problem and as it is late on a Friday then they Tom will continue looking into it next week.

We need to now wait and see if Steve gets the movement back in his shoulder.

If their has been no improvement then Tom has asked Steve to come back to see him on Thursday in clinic. Steves other shoulder is starting to stiffen up and they are keeping a close eye on that as well.

Either way Steve will be scanned in 6 weeks time, which is a couple of weeks before Xmas and as such we will get the results of the scan, the week before Xmas. If the cancer hasn’t completely gone, then Tom will discuss with Steve about doing a 3rd round but Tom isn’t overly keen on this but as I said yesterday, its one day at a time and at the moment that is getting Steve home.

Steve is now off of all of the drugs and drips and is relaxing in bed watching countless antique auction programs I had no idea of the crapness of our terrestrial tv channels, thank goodness for Sky!!

I am going home tonight to get the car and then will drive up early in the morning to bring Steve home.

On a less serious note Steves hair has taken a rather unusual twist, it is looking like a combination of John and Edward (the twins from X factor!) without the hair gel!  I’ve taken a picture and will post when I get a chance :-)

Love to all and look forward to seeing people soon.
