Debby two lumps :(

Kick in the teeth today that I kinda didn't need, that lump has grown since I was first seen a month ago. MRI results show instead of the 3.5-4 cm it may now be 6cm. Some of this may be due to swelling from the biopsy but it's not fab news.

MRI has also shown another smaller lump next to the first, which we think is part of the same lump, it may be a piece that has started to break away. Looks like I went back to be seen just on time, don't want to think what may have happened if I had left it another month/year!

No mega changes to treatment plans though, thank goodness. Need to have another bead inserted into the second lump when my immunity and platelet levels are higher at the end of this first cycle. Consultant seems optimistic that both will significantly shrink with the chemo.

Just glad that first dose of magic medicine is in and getting to work!

On a plus side, feeling a little less sickly today, more achey than anything and tired from lack of sleep. To me that's an improvement though, even though it only sounds minor, actually managed to shower today! Xx
