Just thought I'd share my good news with you all. I finished chemo on March 26th and have just received my results from the CT scan I had a few weeks ago.

My Oncologist Consultant phoned me at home to say it was good news. (I have PPC so my cancer are cells lining my abdomen) All of the cells have shrunk and some have gone!!!!! :) All major organs are healthy and so are the lymph nodes. He doesn't expect me to need further treatment for quite a while. I was so excitied that I asked him to summarise it for me because I couldn't quite take it in.

I have an offical check up appointment June 14th where I also get my CA 125 results, so no doubt he will tell me the scan results again (as I am still a bit stunned by the good news)

I think I kinda expected the chemo "not to work" as I was scared and if you prepare yourself for the worse it's not such a shock.

So now I am just taking it all in and feel so relieved. I can start to get back on track with my life now :)

Much love to you all, Tina xx

    Love it!
    Hi Tina,

    So glad to hear you've gotten such great news!

    Over the years I've looked at tough circumstances and have had a vision & plan for each: 1) Best case scenario 2) Not-as-great, but all right scenario, and 3) Worst case scenario. I've been working with this since I traveled by myself in Europe, not speaking the language and getting myself into some spotty jams. Feeling as though I had some control kept me from crying (most times, at least)!

    Again, you're in control now-have a ball with it!

    Yea.................. what a feeling :)
    Do you know it is a weird feeling - I can't get used to it. Its like I've been given a second chance. I know it is not a CURE because they can't cure PPC, but I feel so good. I thought to myslef last night as I looked in the bathroon mirror as I was going to bed "I get to keep my hair". My hair is growing back nicely from the chemo & I had prepared myself to having to have more chemo. It is a defence mechanism where you expect the worse case scenario and then nothing comes as a shock.

    Thank-you for all of your words of encouragement.
