This morning Ann and I went to Wythenshawe hospital to see Dr. Bootan to find out the results of the PET scan I had at the Christie last week. We got there about a quarter of an hour early and of course we were seen about a quarter hour late. Still that wasn't too bad. After all this is the NHS.
When I found that Dr. Bootan was accompanied by a Macmillan nurse I was concerned. For those who don't know Macmillan nurses give support and advice counselling to people suffering from cancer and their families. That sounded like bad news that she was there. Anyway he examined me sounded my chest got me to do the usual D deep breathing exercises then went to read through the report on the PET scan.
Actually thinks look pretty good. There are three nodules in my lungs two of them are completely inactive and inert whereas the third one shows a little and very little activity. This however is not sufficient to cause any sort of panic. They will do nothing about it but they will monitor it. I need to go back and have another CT scan and another consultation in December. Until then we can concentrate on getting my bladder sorted out.
