No change

I was able to get my ct-results report faxed to me this morning before leaving for the drs. It shows basically no change (it was 2.8 x 1.6 cm and is now 2.9 x 1.6, they consider that no change) in the tumor size. So it's stable, which is good (going away would be better for sure). There is also something about an increase in pelvic fluid that the radiologist recommends followup on. I never know if that fluid is from lymphedema or not, but we'll find out what the oncs think about it.

So, now I can go to the rad onc appt. (in a few minutes) and relax while I wait. We'll see whether he thinks I can have more radiation or not (hopefully he got all the records he needs to make that determination, that was 2 months of phone calls that I am hoping all worked out in the end).

Whew, I feel so much better. My mind was beginning to go to all kinds of bad places, made especially hard by the extra waiting. This never gets any easier.

I'm glad it's not growing.

Hope the wait isn't too long this AM, and that the rad gives all the right answers.

Take care.
