Park life

Thursday 6th March 2014

Not much to update other than spent a lovely day over in Teddington with fab food and a great gang with a very cold stroll through the deer park.

Swallowing (dysphagia) symptom still apparent but only a CT scan will show if this is tumour growth. The next planned CT is in about a months time after third and final planned treatment so will have to arrange one in London prior to that. Little hard to convince the NHS that I just want a free CT scan please and then I'm on my merry way to Germany... oh and could I also get another one in a month, thanks everso! So will ask GP advice. Appetite and weight are still good so not quite as concerned as I would be if they were affected.

Also just read Triple Negative's great blog http://www.triplenegative.co.uk/blog/post/2012/12/11/Move-onto-the-next-chapter-and-hope-the-little-cells-get-with-the-program-a-little-quicker-please!.aspx

More importantly further on it explains that the dendritic cell activity itself can enlarge tumours and show as growth on scans. I'll buy that one then please!

 "Dr Nesselhut also confirmed that he has a friend with a brain tumour who had been having vaccinations. One month his tumour appeared to have grown a lot as the CT scan stated. So he had surgery to remove it and the histology of the tumour actually showed that most of the mass of the tumour was in fact dendritic cells and not cancerous ones."
