KiwiCat's updates

It’s been a very busy day with two very good pieces of news forming a lovely Christmas present.

Firstly, the CT results are in and there are no signs of rapid spread or growth, so no need for any panic or sudden action. In fact, the next step of the plan is simply another CT in March. That’s been booked, everything is organised, but in the meantime I can round out the year without any sudden trips over the hills.

Secondly, this means that I can get my hand surgery done, and after a flurry of emails I am booked in for the 12th of January, just three weeks away. So I am getting the promise of having my finger fixed, for Christmas!

The way this is working out, I’ll go back to work just for the first two days of the work year (probably part days rather than full ones, we’ll see how I go), then I’ll be off two to three weeks recovering, and then back on “light duties” building up hours as my hand recovery allows until I’m back at work full time and that will carry on until March when we repeat this scan-and-see process. But at least by then I’ll be ambidextrous again!

This, so far as I can make out, is a result of my rarer-than-rare oddball variety of cancer doing things that aren’t expected. If it was a typical sarcoma, the news likely wouldn’t be so positive.

Sometimes it pays to be different 🙂
