Well got my CT scan results - which show no growth in tumours (which is good news). However I have mentioned my wheeze and breathlessness and this is both irritated by the left bronchus tumour and asthma. At the moment there is a shadow, which they are putting down to an area of infection. So back on more meds (druggie!!), and still using nebuliser. The asthma is obviously not happy but the LRI hospital are waiting to see what happens at the Brompton next week regarding my bronchoscopy - Will they do anything? Will they put a stent in? Will they remove some tumour?, these answers can not be given until they have a look inside. So Leicester have finally mentioned the possibility of referring me to an asthma specialist - though still playing the usual waiting game at the moment.
It is a good job that I probe and ask questions - as some patients would get nothing done. However my consultant Oncologist has informed me not to fly at the moment - boo!!! As Andrew and I where looking to head somewhere sunny for a week to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary in October. Hoping to still do something nice, mad and a involving food, wine, laughter and a sprinkling of history.
Harriet and David are both starting back at college this week and I will miss them being around. Very pleased that they are both doing `A`levels and glad that I have those sort of exams finished!! Though as parents you still go through the stress with them, and there mood swings and all you can do is support them the best you can. Oh and have family madness time!!
Hugs
