We attended the consultants clinic today. The day we have not been looking forward to. the day we get the NEWS and Results. She said I am sorry but the final results comfirm our suspicions. You have Mesothelioma.
It was nothing less than we expected. She will now wish to see us in 3 weeks time to hopefuly remove the drain tube. When thats removed we can then start next course of treatment. She said the xray today is very good , things are working as hoped for. Which was a cesation of leakage of fluid . Its not dry yet but its better than it was. She is passing us on to a local cancer specialist who will take over her treatment. We have been appointed our cancer team for contacts.
Before starting chemo we have to have a series of radiation treatment to ensure no contaminants heve moved into the wound. because mesotheliom seeds itself into fresh wounds and uses it as a pathway to spread to other organs. When they are happy .Then we can start the next course which will be chemo. so in about a months time we get Zapped then we get poisoned. All in a days work they say. We have walked louis round and she feels a bit tired but otherwise OK. Ive been yelling at her to slow down ,but she was told if you feel you can and you want to then go for it.
