Question

Had my CT scan (originally booked for the 18th) brought fwd to today due to severe headache. The result was what i expected but not really what i wanted to hear. Brain mets are now back up to 1.9cm (original diagnois in June 1.8cm, radiotherapy reduced them to 1cm as shown on MRI in sept) plus swelling and a few specks are showing up. Oh, and a sml tumour in my liver. Oncologist will speak to her collegues at Peter Mac in melbourne (apparently I am a tricky case now) &amp; get back to me with a new treatment plan next week. Glad i had booked a week away to attend a wedding on the sunshine coast early Feb-something great to look fwd to...

Hi Samantha
Don't think I have ever responded to you before, but I have certainly been following your progress.

I am at a loss for words at the recent progression:( so I won't pretend I know what to say other than know that you and your family will continue to be in my prayers.

Much love Tanya

Over the weeks i have kept up with your posts and&nbsp; followed your progress from a far and Samantha you really are an amazing woman. You never complain , even though you have every right to.&nbsp; You just take everything&nbsp; in your stride and move on to the next stage.&nbsp; I dont understand why cancer attacks people at different degrees but it really is time it left you alone, it is not fare. &nbsp; I hope your holiday brings you so much joy and i truly do wish you and your family all the very best&nbsp;&nbsp; and hope everything turns out alright. Thinking of you&nbsp;
Cheers Jo xx

Oh Sam - I was so sd to read your news on FB last night and you haven't left my mind since. You have always shown and continue to show such courage and grace but if you are anything like me you'd possibly give that all away in a heartbeat to be clear of this bloody thing.
I don't know what to say because saying things isn't enough. I want to take it away. I want to guarantee you a treatment plan that will work, I want to take away the pain. 
You are a wonderful woman - a warrior, brave, gentle, stoic, nurturing, loving. It's is time cancer left you alone. Sending you so much love from the very depth of my being.
You go girl with that amazing holiday too - sounds awesome!
