So a quick trip into Southampton today, where I saw Professor Davies – the last of the three haematology consultants and someone I hadn’t seen before. They all seem very keen to see me – or maybe they draw lots and he got the short straw. Interestingly he trained with Dr Welch, the last consultant who saw me at Guy’s.<\/p>\n
Anyway, blood results were all good – creatinine was lower, although not as low as I had hoped, but definitely a downward trend. There are no reasons why the Ibrutinib should stop me diving, so I obtained a set of bloods for the diving medical referee, so I can apply for my medical certificate… another positive step.<\/p>\n
And my next consultation is in two months, although a blood sample is required in a months time. And finally, it was decided that they would like a CT scan, scheduled for some time in the next 6 weeks! We did have a discussion about CT and CT\/PET scans – CT onlty are less expensive, and Guys are at the forefront of PET scanning (Professor Davies knows Professor Sally Barrington – a pioneer\/ambassador for PET scans at Guy’s)<\/p>\n
So I came home very happy and definitely feeling that things are going Onwards and Upwards! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
