- The PET scan showed no melanoma
- The breast tissue being investigated has the all clear
- The lymph gland being investigated has the all clear
- They have scaled back their initial diagnosis of which bones exhibit symptoms of Myeloma to the one vertebrae that was removed in Mum's recent surgery. This means Mum has not other instances of Myeloma in her body at the moment.
All of this was the best possible news Mum could have got. Not only does she not have Melanoma, but the Myeloma is far less progressed than initially thought. This is something to celebrate.
Mum starts her chemo soon which will be used to manage the disease (keep it at bay). This chemo treatment is home administered. The drugs are pretty hard core, with one of them not being able to be touched before it is swallowed but the side effects are expected to be minimal (fingers crossed). Mum will be taking thalidomide as well.
It was most definitely a good day.
