Summertime

Here does, indeed, come the sun. 

It's 23 degrees Celcius outside, Ernie started his (second!) (pre)school summer vacation today, I have no medical appointments booked for over a month.

I don't have much else to report, but it's all good news. 

After my latest brain scan (a few weeks ago) the radiologist was impressed by the tumour's ongoing withdrawal; so much so that he asked me to plan the next MRI for the end of 2019. I've lost count of the number of times I've been scanned but the average has been at least one every three months. Alas, glioblastoma multiforme remains incurable (and almost unpronounceable!) but this is an encouraging professional vote of confidence.

GBM does, however, remain treatable. Cue the DCVax-L vaccination. On Tuesday I received the last of three 'Induction' shots. The company that manufactures the treatment managed to produce three years' worth of shots. I receive the next injection in September.

Bring on the summer holidays!!
