Hi and thanks - I am following your progress and rejoiced as you had some good news.
Well, they didn't mention biopsies; I asked if there was any chance it could be scarring or something else but it can't be apparently. The oncologist says it isn't in the field they treated. They are basing their advice on the images and the radiology report.
I got to have a look at it all- what a treat - and it looks like a tiny area on the right lung, but it's more extensive and in the middle of the left. It seems UK treatments are sometimes more reactive than yours in the US, but I do feel that they would have given me a crumb if there was one!
They did only get my results a few minutes before I arrived and were all shocked. No one has even said anything about other scans although we have touched on possible further mets. They did a chest xray and I return in 3 weeks to discuss it further.
The fact that the scans and pre-op xrays were all clear ' is suggestive' that this is aggressive, is what they have said. I am, at the moment choosing to disbelieve
that part and maintain as postive a mind set as I can. Might change! Watch this space!
Thank you for you kind thoughts, and wishing you every bit of strength and success with the treatment,
Georgia
