Wednesday 13th July 2005

Went to St Luke’s Hospital for an appointment that Sarah Cost had arranged for me. My own consultant Mr Bem is on holiday for a fortnight and she did not want to leave it that long so had made me an appointment to see Mr Sood. Mr Sood checked me over and said yes there was a swelling in the remains of my parotid gland which may just be a build up of fluid, however, he said I should have a MRI scan on my neck to make sure nothing else was going on. Hopefully my scan will be next week so I have to go back and see him in a fortnight.

So hopefully there is nothing going on. As those of you with this disease will understand it’s like being in limbo and waiting to either go to heaven (all clear) or hell (off with another bout of medical treatment with no guarantee of success).
