Scan three...results

Hmmmm....so my liver looks exactly the same as when I started. I feel well and my biochemistry is good so I am described as being stable and assured that I am in a safe place. I will start the hormone treatment as planned and that will be followed up in 6 weeks to see how the bloods look. I will also have a PET scan as my results are difficult to read from CT on its own and that a PET scan will give them a better idea of what is going on which will be important as a baseline.

I know the take away should be that I am in a safe place, and I should focus on the fact that it has not progressed which presumably was the trajectory when I was first diagnosed, but I would be lying if I did not say that I feel very flat. I will continue to read my book on spontaneous healing, I have Germany coming up and they will do hyperthermia to the liver, maybe that will blast some of it away? And hormone treatment can be very effective. And, there are still many rungs to the ladder for advanced breast cancer. But this was not an A* result. From the survivor stories I have read and seen it usually takes a minimum of 2 years to see any significant response so I should not be greedy, but after 12 chemotherapies, a radical change to my diet etc I would have liked a bit more of a response. 

Onwards and upwards....
