Had a good chat yesterday with a specialist in Senintel Lymph Node Bioposy at Wordsley hospital. Overall what I was told is good news, because I half expected to be denied this operation. If I go through with what I’m about to blurt out, it’s a gamble that I might not need to be taking right now, but it will give a clearer picture one way or the other, the whole thing is very controversial. “Yes the cancer really has gone”, or “no actually it’s still lingering about the place like the smell of a smoker”. Life is about risk management, to me going through with this Delayed Sentinel Node Biopsy is good risk management and makes sense, meh no big deal right?

Been a long time since I wrote here about the progress of my Melanoma. Since then I have been lifted out of uncertainty. I had a further operation for a biopsy on 2 moles and I’m being booked in to see specialists. Great news from the scans a small summary follows:

• CT scans were clear
• Imuune system response is great
• No enlarged nodes
• It could have been worse, there’s a chance it might get worse
• Green Tea is horrid, but then not everything that is good is nice

I haven’t thought about the what the scans might show. The future is full of unknowns, even without cancer …. soooooo I have decided that for the next 2 weeks (until the apointment) I’m not gonna think about it as much and I’m gonna ready my life so I’m ok (in the worst case) to drop everything … again.
