Had more results today!

I had my CT scan a week ago and went to hospital to see oncologist for results today.  I can't remember if I have already said that I have refused radiotherapy and chemo because I want quality of life not quantity.  I am nearly 71 and have researched so much and I feel this is the way to go for me.  I have been taking Letrozole, a hormone pill that was, I think, developed for breast cancer patients but is being used for gynae patients too.  After one month I have been told that my main tumour has shrunk by nearly half.  My cancer (peritoneal) is untreatable, but this result has given me such a boost today.  I am not unrealistic and I know anything could happen but just for now I have a smile on my face.

    Hi Pauline,

    Thanks for sharing your good news with us.I am so pleased to read that you now have a smile on your face. I dont know if you are affected like I was by the hormone pills you are on. I had to have injections of hormone therapy (zoladex) for two years and boy oh boy dod I suffer from hot flushes. I got no sympathy from my dear wife at all. All she would say was now you know what we momen have to go through. Now three years after finnishing the treatment I only get the odd one or two at nights. 

    Take care and I am glad our lovely Max has posted to you. Sending best wishes and hope that smile continues for many days, Brian.
