One More Step On The Road.
Hey,
.
Good Morning to you.
It is beautiful here today again, a lovely blue beginning to what I hope will be a wonderful weekend.
The birds have been happily enjoying bread, along with a packet of ready prepared Yorkshire Puddings that I was foolish enough to take out of the frrrreezer ( that was an accident but I like it!) during a search for a Vienetta, and forgot to put back when I was finished.
I am sure that the ungrateful feathery things wish I would become senile a lot quicker than I am doing, and make even more such appetizing mistakes.
.
Well, Big H and I attended the hospital yesterday, on the dot of 2.30 as we were requested to do, in order not to be late for our slot and therefore keep the panel of doctors and experts waiting.
At 4pm we were seen by the panel and a discussion was undertaken about the various ways to proceed with treatment.
We also had another look at the results of the MRI scan of the enlarged pituitary gland, which was described by the surgeon.
.
After this discussion it was decided that as no-one knew when the tumour had grown, or the actual cause of it, it would not serve any helpful purpose to operate upon it at this particular time.
There is worry however, about the fact that it is incredibly close to the Optic Nerve of the one eye, although this too could have happened 18 years ago, and remained static ever since then.
.
Basically, the plan is to continue with the hormone treatment for another period of up to a year, and then repeat the MRI.
This will be the only way to see if the problem is a recent one, and is worsening, or whether the situation is not undergoing any form of change and can therefore be left and monitored.
There is also the chance that the swelling might lessen as the body improves under the influence of the treatment!
.
They said that he looks amazing, very pink skinned now and many years younger than when he first presented, so they want to take more pictures and blood tests next Tuesday
They were also very intrigued to see that the huge dark brown age spots on the back of his hands have just about disappeared now.
.
He is beginning to look like someone who has made a pact with the devil and who now has a painting in the attic which is growing old instead of him!
.
So, that is all a vast relief, as nobody likes to have people fiddling about inside their brain,
however well intentioned.
Have fun y’all.
J,x.
PS….If you have time to cook this weekend and you like receive your just desserts then you should try a very good site.
