Last night on my way home from work I got some good news, great news in fact.
Sarah Massey, the Sarcoma Specialist Nurse at Royal Liverpool University Hospital rang me. My heart skips a few beats every time I get a call off a withheld number now.
The results for the CT scan of the Thorax, Abdomen and Pelvis area came back as clear! meaning the cancer has not spread. Straight on the phone to Emma to give her the good news. I now feel like a massive weight has been lifted off my mind. Its quite surreal how following the news of getting cancer, positive news seems to be really magnified.
My attempt to brighten up my office today
Appointment with the Oncologist tomorrow to get things moving with the Radiotherapy.
Good luck to VITFA and her husband with the fundraising later this year. Sadly she lost her father to Sarcoma last July, and will be raising funds in his memory. My heart is with you and I will certainly be following your blog as soon as it is up and running.
My heart skips a beat every time I get a phone call from you, always wondering 'what's he done now!?' Yesterday was the best phone call that I have received.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, he forgets to mention that shortly after the 'good news' phone call I received I got another call telling me someone had driven into the back of him! No damage caused and clearly in a good mood he shakes the mans hand and drives off on his merry way!
Tom deserves every bit of positive news he gets - I'm lucky to have such a genuinely good hearted man to call my own xxx
Thank you, I know I can be a right pain in the ass sometimes, but I genuinely always have good intentions in my heart and I'm lucky to have such a caring and wonderful family xx
ReplyDeleteAlright tom thanks for keeping us updated, happy to hear the news about no spread :), all the best to the family as well x
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, all the best to you and the family too. It would be nice to meet up with everyone soon its been too long.
DeleteI'm having my CT scan tommorow. Tom reading your story so far is literally a mirror of mine (except the pregnant wife). I have the same cancer/ lump on my inner thigh and yes we are a select and rare breed apparently. Im just hoping and praying my scan goes as successful as yours. This is the big one for me if I can get positive results then this journey won't feel as difficult. My name is Dave and I'm from Leek in Staffordshire reading your blog as mademe feel so much better in the sense that it's not just me and my girlfriend going through this.
