Another day at the hospital

Another day, another appointment. I returned to hospital today for an appointment to see the consultant. The doctor examined me and said it all seems to be going fine! I mentioned that I had been worried about what he had said about my liver last time and that I thought that was why I was coming back to see him today. He said he had forgotten and that he still had not had the report back. So now we have to wait for him to get the report back but he says he doesn't think there is any need to worry as he feels sure it will be a cyst. So I am trying to keep my thoughts on a positive note.

I am now just over half way through my radiotherapy sessions having had my 11th one today, 9 more to go! Radiotherapy seems to be going well although I am just beginning to turn a little pinker and a little tender around the area of my treatment, the doctor has warned me that it will probably get worse and last for sometime after my treatment is finished. 

I have been taking the Tamoxifen for 2 weeks now and that all seems to be going ok too. I have only managed to forget one tablet, which the doctor said would be alright.

  1. sorry I missed you in school on Monday...ended up going kayaking in the sunshine at Yeadon Tarn.
    The doctor sounds confident that there is nothing too serious with the liver....good news!
    hope the hair is continuing to grow.
    see you soon

  2. It's all in a day's work for the hospital staff, isn't it? I can imagine how you've been worrying about the liver thing....I have too.....and then to be told he'd forgotten about it must be really annoying. Anyway I suppose it's good news in that he doesn't think it's anything to worry about.We've just had a few days in Worcester and Hereford, walking in the Malvern Hills and enjoying the Hay on Wye Festival. Your holiday is getting nearer now and the treatment will be done with. Roll on!!!! Thinking of you. Love Cherrie

  3. Hi Mandy
    Keep looking on the positive side as I am sure the doctor is right, that it is a cyst. I think if it was anything else they wouldn't lull you into a false sense of security. Just remember that whatever happens you have the love and support of all those around you. Take care
    Love Donna x
