Update message from Emily:
5 February 2019So as some of you may or may not know I had a check up in Palmerston North on Friday (01-02-19) to get the results from my first CT scan since having treatment. I went into this feeling confident and expecting good results. Sadly this was not the case, we found out that from the CT scan of my chest that there were multiple lesions on my lungs. Meaning the cancer had spread. Our next step is trying to find a treatment that will work for me. We have decided to pay to have some special genomic testing done to hopefully find the specific mutation within my genes so we can target treat it. Because we have found the lesions early the oncologist said we have some time to hopefully find the right treatment for me. This will most likely involve chemo, and he is unsure whether he will be able to cure the cancer but hopefully we will be able to keep it at bay and stop the lesions from growing or spreading to other parts of my body until we do find a cure. All things considered I’m doing pretty well, trying to keep positive! But I’ve done this once before and I’ll do it again....👊🏼❤️
Like I said at the start “I am too positive to be doubtful, too optimistic to be fearful and too determined to be defeated”. I will fight this again and I will fight it 10X harder 👊🏼💗
