The days before going had been difficult. My left lobe is basically quite uncomfortable, it presses on my stomach if I lie in a very certain position and I need to prop myself up in bed. It had gardasil also affected how I walked which, possibly tension added to the mix, had given me a sore upper back where the muscles are taut. All these complaints seem to have melted away with new hope that things are going within the right direction (except the discomfort inside my abdomen which prevents me lying on my front). It is amazing how your mental health so directly affects your physical health. I had a dark cloud hanging over me, worrying that the treatment might not have worked and wondering if it was the situation, the amount of options there would remain given the tumour load had been quite high within the liver. The moment Prof Vogl communicated his conclusions all those worries just fell away. He was happy will be able to return during the early January which essentially gives me a free pass over Xmas and New Year. A wonderful month or so to enjoy our kids and friends and have pleasure in being extravagantly Xmassy.
