Ellie has just had the yearly mri scan of her brain. I am pleased to report that there was nothing showing up. The radiologist still needs to report on it but the oncologist has had a good look and she’s very happy.
Ellie has also put on a few pounds in weight since April which is great.
She has been experiencing headaches but after lots of questions by her oncologist, she thinks they are more tension headaches which makes perfect sense. She doesn’t take anything for them and like most teenagers, she has recently sat exams, spends lots of time on a screen and doesn’t get enough fresh air.
History:
*Primary in calf muscle, removed Sept 2016 approx 3cm with clear margins.
*Brain / bones / lungs clear
*Lung mets discovered Dec 2016 in both lungs.
*Cediranib started May 2017 which is taken daily (20mg)
*Ongoing stable disease with shrinkage in some mets. Largest met under 1cm
*yearly brain mri
*6 monthly lung ct scans
