Hey all, a bit of an update with me cancer after my oncology meeting today.
CT scans I had on Friday last week came back with a good news. My tumors in my throat were still the same size in length, but were skinnier.
The bone cancer came back with a change in colour, which shows that the treatment has worked on them also.
There was some suspicious lymphnods they thought had cancer (first I've talked about it now). My lymphnodes were 9mm before treatment and are now 6mm so that's another goodie.
I was tested for non funded treatment, I had to be above 10% for compatibility. I was 15% so I have been accepted for that also 😊
I have asked to stay on the harsh FLOT chemo and not move to the unfunded stuff for a bit longer as I feel I have more to give down that road before the immunotherapy (non funded), which will be my first line (main treatment) and the chemo would be the second line (no longer FLOT but another type of chemo).
They are possibly thinking about radiotherapy down the road if need be as the ability to swollow has for some reason back tracked. But will just keep an eye on things for the mean time.
That is all I have at this stage. Which I am happy about!
