#BlameVikkisCancer Update

Well, after being seen 75 minutes late for my appointment, the news is mixed. I don’t yet have a treatment plan as I need a further test (PET scan, some kind of radioactive thing, but I won’t get superpowers). There’s no further visible tumour at the initial site, and my lungs are clear, but my lymph nodes are enlarged which indicates a “not likely but possible” chance the cancer has already spread. This test will ascertain that, so in about a month I should know whether I’m having chemoradiation (mostly radiotherapy with a low dose of chemo thrown in) or systemic chemotherapy with a bit of radiotherapy (that’s the full-on serious one where I’d lose my hair and get really sick). Sigh.
