Saturday 07, August: The biopsy result on the lymph nodes shows the cancer is now metastatic. To quote from the report: “The morphological features and immunoprofile are consistent with metastatic adenocarcinoma from the lung.”
I had a CT scan on Friday including neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis to identify where the cancer has spread. And, so, I wait again for the next result.
This must be the shortest update I’ve written because I haven’t yet processed what I’m feeling/thinking – and probably won’t until the scan result comes through and the wait to see the oncologist and find out what, if anything, can be done.

Thanks, Ann. It’s not great and I hate the hanging about waiting for the scan results and wondering what, if anything, can be done – and if I can face anything to be done.
I hope you’ve recovered fully from your accident. Love, Mary xx

Oh Mary, I was so worried when you showed me the lumps (and I prodded them like a cattle vet) and now I’m weeping. Please, please let the scan show no other metastases although I know it’s out of your control. Massive hug. Juliet xxx
