Counting my birdies

Head Rambles Posted on by

I tend to be cautious when it comes to predictions.

Rather than waiting until my chickens have all hatched, I am more inclined to wait until they are fully grown cockerels, hens or whatever eggs grow up to be.

I am however prepared to throw caution to the wind and make a little prediction.

It appears that the immunotherapy may be working!

I had a lump on the side of my neck which was diagnosed as being carcinogenic. It was a well defined lump, being hemispherical in nature and about an inch across. I have been keeping a weather eye on it for the last while. I noticed this morning that suddenly it isn’t as prominent. It is now more of a bump than a lump.

This is a massive piece of news, if true. Yes, I’m still being cautious. What it means is that there is far less chance of the cancer spreading as any tumour will be zapped before it can develop, and also that my lip may be saved the surgeon’s scalpel.

Good news indeed?

  1. That is very good news – I’d hope that as the tumours reduce, your pain levels might subside (fingers/legs crossed) too. This cold, wet weather is telling me to move my chair nearer the woodburner (and sit in it) – Hope you’re managing to do the same, although I expect you keep being drawn out to the new car to find out all the clever things it can do!

    Good luck with all the trips next week, I hope they improve things even further,

  2. I sometimes think that people get better to spite their doctors, rather than the cure!
    But however it is with you, glad to hear a little hope in your voice and that things are progressing in the right direction.

  4. This is excellent news! I hope by shrinking the size it will also help diminish the pain. A new week starts another round of appointments I’m sure. Best of luck.

  5. ‘Size isn’t everything’ has been my go-to excuse for decades, but it seems that, in your current case, size really does matter.
    That’s excellent indicative news, let’s hope the medics agree that it is indeed demonstrating good progress and they can then get on with delivering the rest of the treatments. Stay on this road, it’s heading the right way.

  7. Really good news.
    You’re long overdue some of that, so I’ll keep fingers crossed….

  8. This is fantastic news indeed.
    I have been hesitant to visit the past few days as things seem to have been going downhill for you. I’m glad I got in today. I am happy to see that things seem to be going your way for a change.

  11. great news….a lot of your improvement is directly related to your positive thoughts and is your best defender. Gods blessing for you.

  13. Thank you for keeping all of us updated, sometimes I find your current posts difficult to read and am moved by your tales and your risilliance. I do hope that this good news is just an indication of your future progress.

    I am not by nature one who can write (or talk) about difficulf situations, but I send you may best wishes for the future and hope that you get through this as quickly as possible.

    Best Wishes David Brown Manchester.
