Bang and the dirt is gone

I think i have given myself artistic license, it hasn't totally gone, there is a tiny scrap of evil cell based carcinoma left. I saw my oncologist today and her usual radiant smile had gone up a couple of notches and my mother and i were concerned that she may actually explode in an intelligent cloud of smiley science. she was very pleased with my MRI results and suggested that RFA (radio frequency abalation) could well be possible. When i approached her on the subject of the Ultrasound doctor saying it had not shrunk anymore she raised her eyes and exclaimed 'i wish he wouldn't keep doing that'!!!
Apparently the fact it hasn't shrunk could be a good sign, in the respect it could be scar tissue from the cancer which is why it is not shrinking further, but the liver has....(or could it be the turmeric? ;))....

So now i clutch in my dirty mits a prescription for letrozole (yes i will be googling this regarding opinions and scientific evidence...) which apparently will attempt to keep the cancer at bay in a hormonal way.

I have been referred to a liver specialist for consultation regarding surgery and I am meeting with the breast surgeon next week to discuss surgery too.

So all in all....a positive day...she said ' it is the best outcome we could have hoped for' words i won't forget for a while.

I feel blessed i feel I can plan again, my career whats next? watch this space

Strangely, Oasis has come on the radio singing ' I am gonna live forever'....if only that were true but currently i feel like a cat with nine lives.
