Cancer scan for the mr today. Its pretty scary.→[More:] basically it is a brain tumour and it went down 15percent with three months of chemo over the summer. This is the first follow up scan after three months of no chemo.

He was really stressy this morning and so was I. I just hope the news is good for him and I hope he will be open and honest with me about the result which won't come for a few days.. He tends to want to hide bad news.

BtGoG, you have all my best thoughts and positive vibes for the day. Cancer is a wild and scary ride. I am so sorry you and your family are facing this. These days of waiting are agonizing (I've actually been there with my own husband). Please make use of the entire support network you have at your disposal. Thank you for telling us, you know you have all the support that this community knows how to give. I wish I could give you a big hug right now.
Instead:

Waiting for results sucks, it's hard to think about anything else until you find out.

Alright, if you haven't seen this yet, or even if you have, it's worth a second view. I give you: pug bowling.

Best of luck-hope the results are the very best possible scenario. The waiting must be the worst part. Good luck.

It was an MRI. His blood pressure is also high. Thanks for your support, awesome guys!

also, it turns out he will have to have more radiotherapy at a later date, which involves so much stomach bullshit!

Ugh. Good luck to both of you.
