Health Update

Just to update you on where things are with my health over the last week or so.  My leg has generally been improving and I've been walking better, although still using the stick. There are some days like today where it is painful and I have more numbness and difficulty walking but other days like yesterday when I was walking really well.

However, the right side of my face has seemed to get worse and on Wednesday I found that I couldn't hear in my right ear and it also affected my balance when walking.  We contacted the hospital on Thursday and ended up going back to London for an MRI on Friday.

We got a call from one of the doctors afterwards indicating that some of the tumours on the right hand side had increased in size from the last scan (April 16th) to the one I had on Friday (May 10th) and there is some swelling around that side as well.  We see the consultant on Tuesday so will have a clearer picture then but in the meanwhile they've asked me to increase the steroid dose to control the swelling.  It's pretty devastating news after the amazing news we had last Friday but that report was focused on the left side of the brain where the biggest tumours were so we're hopeful that that still holds true.
