Merry Christmas!

I am starting to feel more and more like me every day, Merry Christmas!

Good Results!

I'm very very pleased to let you know that the lesions in my brain are not mets. After two brain scans and some terrifying waiting (6 weeks!!) I received the good news. I'd been waiting for so long because the second set of scans had to go to neurologist specialist teams at St George's. They confirmed that the lesions certainly do not look like mets and that they will scan me again in 3 months to keep an eye on things. Huzzah!

Flying

The light has been switched on! The drug I was prescribed (Efexor SR/Venlafaxine) to help with my (quite frankly debilitating) hot flushes and night sweats is also helping immensely with my mood. I have been more like me now for the past 10 days. I am not scared of going out any more. I hadn't been to the cinema in about 6 months and last night I went. Simple things like going for dinner sent me into a tailspin. I was doing it but I was scared before. At the weekend and last night, I actually looked forward to going out for dinner. It felt like a massive step to be doing it but after it was done I wondered wth all the fuss had been about. I feel like me again!
