Two posts in a week! What's going on?
I had an appointment at the Radiotherapy and Oncology department at Carlisle Infirmary today. It was a brief consultation just to check on how I am.
The good news is that I will have a new MRI scan in two months time. Then we will go up to Carlisle again to get the results. Something to look forward to in the new year! Really. I really would like to know what this tumour is doing.
I asked if I could reapply for my driving licence yet. The doctor said I would have to wait until after the scan, as there is not enough information to go on at the moment. That would really be something if I could get my licence back early next year!
While we were waiting for our transport back home one of the nurses approached me and asked if I would mind taking part in a research project they are working on to try to find out if there is a gene that is associated with cancer or particular types of cancer. Of course I agreed. I owe such a lot to the doctors, nurses and especially the cancer researchers who are advancing our knowledge of this disease that I am glad to help in any way I can.
Sorry to hear about the Gall stones. My wife had that and had the gall bladder out on the NHS by keyhole surgery. She was out the same day (Dec 23) and cooking Christmas dinner for the family 2 days later as others were ill!
ReplyDeleteIt will be good if the MRI shows nothing new and you get you driving license back in the new year.
Thanks Roger. It's reassuring to know the gall bladder op is not too bad!
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best Julian! You are an inspiration to us all!
