Scan and Consultant Appointment

Well we now have the dates for Steves scan and meeting with the consultant for the results.


The scan is on the 21st December and we meet with Tom on the 24th December for the results!
Yes the 24th Christmas Eve! The appointment is at 11am, so we will go up in the morning and should be home by early afternoon!

Its an awful day to have to go to London to find out whether the treatment has worked or not but like everything through this whole ordeal, Steve is taking it in his stride. Lets hope we get the same result and better than we got last time.

Steve’s shoulder and knees are still very stiff and are worse in the morning and the middle of the night. It wakes him up and he cant get back to sleep. Ive been reading and apparently this is a very good sign! That the treatment is having a positive impact. Lets hope this is right and we get the result we and indeed everyone wants.

We will be told one of 4 things when we meet Tom

1) Its all gone! or got so small that they can not see it!

2) The tumors have shrunk further but some still remain

3) Its the same size but hasnt grown any bigger

4) The tumors have got bigger or have spread to other areas

Obviously if its number 1 then it will be champagne at ours throughout Christmas!
If it number 2 or 3 then we are going to ask Tom to give Steve a 3rd round and if its number 4 well to be honest we cant bring ourselves to even think about number 4 so we will just need to deal with that if its the case.

So now we have the date and their isn’t anything to do but wait, so we have decided to focus on being very festive! The lights are up on the inside and outside of the house, so much so I think we may get a letter from the Parish council or the WI of Chobham. I keep playing Xmas tunes on the stereo and be warned anyone that comes to the house that doesnt enter into the spirit! The kids are very excited about Christmas and all of the tinsel and lights that we have decorated thier bedrooms with!

Oh and of course trying to get sponsorship and a bike for my cycle ride!

I will post up here the result so that everyone can see. And please keep your fingers, toes and everything else crossed for Steve on Christmas Eve.
