in the dark

we're in the dark... literally. the power has failed, again.

we had a couple of hours' power late afternoon, enough to get a bit ofcharge into my tablet. enough to type this post. it will be posted when the power comes on again.

meanwhile, we sit in the dark.

the scan results are just as unenlightening. nothing definite.

the oncologist has nothing definite to say. I'm feeling deafer than usual. what she says is not very clear. my understanding -- or best guess -- is:

no significant change since last scan, three months ago. well, that's sort of good. not worse, anyway :-)

the scan shows areas which may be growing cancer. if they are growing then it is very slowly, less than a mm in three months.

also there are "spots". what are they? no idea. spots. possibly cancer but small?

so what does it all mean? it means that I still have cancer. (as we always know) but it is not *rushing* to kill me. probably :-) there is more cancer -- if it is cancer -- than at the last scan. but only a tiny bit more.

smart money is still saying cancer. nothing is certain unless my head is opened up.

so what now? we continue to wait and see!

next scan will be in only two months. if that is also showing not much... then I'll be back to a scan every three months.

so we're in the dark. doubly so :-) pretty much the same as after the previous scan. (but now with no electric power:-)

but it's *not* visibly worse. and that's something to be glad about :-)
