I have had my 7th chemoembolisation treatment done, Considering that the last treatment I had was Decmeber 2008, I think that is good going. I have had a small progression in the left lung, could be due to the lymph node enlarging in 2009. I had radio therpay on that but it may have caused the growth.
I arrived in Frankfurt on 3rd January 2011 to see the Prof. This time I was accompanied by Rita, a great friend who lost her husband, Peter to mesothelioma. She has been wonderful. Going into the theatre was like coming home, so many familiar faces and all very excited about how the treatment has helped so many people. I wish it could help everyone, such a shame that some don't make it. The Prof sees late stage patients which is a dilemma in itself as he is their last hope. Profs team knew all about our facebook group, the warriors and all the work we have been doing to bring mesothelioma to the forefront. It made me feel so proud to be part of it.
The treatment went well and I returned home on 5th January.
I will be having a CT scan in the next couple of weeks and am hoping the treatment has impacted on the growth.
Theo, if your listening, it was lovely to spend Christmas with you, but now you have to go back to your pad in Frankfurt. Please take some more of your belongings, I hope to find more space when I have the CT scan.
