Today is a good day for us!

Good news!!!! I went to see the doctor today and it would seem that I have the all clear - whoop whoop! They said they can't be dogmatic about it but it looks really good - and this means no radiotherapy for me ( also my blood levels were looking normal)! In fact I don't have to go back to the hospital for another 3 months.
(They will keep a close eye on me for the next few years with check up's every three months).

I didn't sleep much last night, so I'm quite exhausted - but really releaved and also in shock! I don't think it has quite sunk in yet!

I don't know how to thank you all for all the wonderful ways you have shown love and support to me. From my experience, over the past year, battling cancer strips you of all hope and with out hope - living is very difficult - but your messages have restored hope in me and encouraged me to keep going when every thing seemed so bleak and painful. Thank you for taking the time to read the blog. Thank you for taking the time to leave me messages and pray for me.

You have been incredble and I will always remember your kindess to me. I've said this before but I'll say it again, I really think the support and love I have been shown has been every bit as valueable as the medical help. It's a shame to end our blogging relationship, but it is for good reasons.
Lots of love, Mari xxxx

Pet scan

Thank you thank you for your lovely messages!
Just wanted to let you know that I have my PET scan on friday at 4pm at the BRI hospital in Bristol.
Will let you know results as soon as I hear, here's hoping it's scar tissue!

Encouraging News

Mari has just had an encouraging phone call from her consultant . They are very pleased with the results from the scan. The cancerous tissue has shrunk considerably. There is one small area which they cannot tell whether it is fibrosis ( scar tissue) or 'living'. To determine this, Mari will need a PET scan in the next few days, which will peel this tissue back one more layer. If she does need to have radiotherapy, it is only a small amount of tissue that will need to be attacked. If the scan shows it is scar tissue, then Mari will not need to have radiotherapy.

The Consultant was very pleased and it is nice to have good news. The PET scan could be any day soon so you will be updated as soon as we know.

Thanks again for all the love, prayer and standing with us through this.

No news yet!

Mari spoke to the hospital secretary today and was told that her CT scan results will be reviewed this Thursday by a multidisciplinary group, including a radiologist. ( That was all they were able to tell her).

We should have more of an idea after Thursday about the situation, so we will keep you updated.
Thank you for your messages and prayers as we await results.
With Love xx
