Deb has had another couple of days of scans. Today was a PET scan, very high tech. That was at 13.30, so she hadn't eaten since last night. Finally back in her room late afternoon, had her (saved) lunch on the table, about to tuck in, when doctor appears and says come back - they've missed your feet! Isotopes still live inside her, so back she went. Doh!
She actually seems much better to me, and we hope she'll be fit enough to go back to gynae, where they can conduct a biopsy on whatever the original scan found was not nice in her uterus. Today, though, they got a result from an exam on her, umm, output, which led them to insist that anyone emptying her bedpan wear a mask and gloves! Since she's had the bedpan taken away, because now she's not on a drip she can get to her loo unaided, it all seems a bit pointless. Anyway, her digestive tract does seem to have recovered its composure now, so we suspect what they found has already been knocked on the head by the antibiotics she was given due to the rash which was caused by - no-one knows!

Because she's been downstairs having scans etc, Deb hadn't actually seen a doc (as distinct from radiologist, who are also qualified, of course) since Friday. She mentioned this to the nurse this morning - and she's just had a visit from 3! They intend to find out what is in her uterus pronto. While this may prove to be bad news, at least it will be progress.

Deb had a lumbar puncture this afternoon, and sees the anaesthetist tomorrow morning, with a view to having an operation allowing a full exam of her uterus etc so that the lump can be at least partly removed and analysed. She remains in good form, and pleased that at last we may know more.

Deb is coming home for the weekend, to cuddle a few cats and get her head together for next week, when we expect surgery to finally go ahead. Not much fun at present.

Come on Debs, does cat cuddling also involve beer drinking?
See your PM

Deb is indeed home for the weekend - but has not had the mental energy to turn on her PC, so I'm sorry you haven't heard from her. In the last couple of days we've had some grim news - and Lee Self's mention of prognosis is sadly spot-on. Deb is due for an operation next Thursday which purports to be a biopsy, but they will be trying to remove whatever they can from the tumour on her left ovary. After that there will be analysis and eventually a prognosis, which will offer whatever remedial measures are appropriate, according to how far things have gone. The news then may not be all bad, of course. But you can all imagine what we are imagining. Sorry to be a bit downbeat!
