Not a totally clear PET scan result, but much better than what I was mentally preparing myself for.

I did my 6 monthly PET scan yesterday. I get the results today. To say I'm nervous is an understatement.
What is it they say about the truth setting you free? This week I saw a doctor who told me nothing new, but who also managed to just tell it to me like it is. And sometimes the truth hurts.
Apparently planning your own palliative care in advance is highly unusual. This has been my project for the last few weeks. I don´t think it is fatalistic, I think it is just pragmatic and I´ve found some degree of comfort from it.
My recent cancer recurrance has made me realise that I need to learn more about immunotherapy sooner than I thought I´d need to. Here´s my own 101 summary.
Not sure why but folks suddenly seem interested in what happened to my non-cancer projects. Two emails just today about it ??? Anyway, here is an update.
I seem to be moving beyond ‘standard’ treatment. My medical team has no guidance on whether I should do another round of chemotherapy following my recent surgery. Really struggling with how to make this decision.
A quick run down on the surgery. All went ok, but there are always complications. WARNING: medical images.
Booked for liver surgery on Feb 15th. They think it might also be in the prostate, so more tests to follow.
So…crap…cancer is back. Not sure yet what the plan is, but it's back. Hoping that surgery is an option. Should know more in the next few days.
