Well. I had been hoping to announce that I’m “All Clear!” but I’m actually “Inconclusive but mostly clear!”, which somehow doesn't have the same ring to it. The scan which showed lymphoma as white blotches all over the first scan, now shows just a tiny bit around my thyroids (neck) which was the biggest tumour. Apparently, the scan can produce a false positive when the thyroids are recovering or damaged and doesn’t necessarily mean lymphoma. The doctor said it was definitely 99% but further tests will determine if it requires more treatment or not. I will have an ultrasound scan and a biopsy to look into it further and probably some radiology treatment. Then I'll have a meeting in 3 weeks time similar to today’s which, hopefully will be more conclusive and add the missing 1% to my recovery. I’m happy with 99% but the wind is out of my sails a little!
