I talked to the counsellor a bit. He knows I'm not ok, I think, but I couldn't tell him some of it. But he is working on some of it with me, so that is good. I will try writing some stuff down maybe.

And training. Training is good for something to focus on.

Now the hospital are saying they will do another scan in January. They're telling us not to get our hopes up. But there must be some hope, right? Because otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. They are wondering if a bit of what is showing up on the scans might be scar tissue or something I think, I'm not really sure what exactly. But maybe if it is that means they can try surgery.

My mum says she is not getting her hopes up, she says she is accepting that she will have 18 months. But maybe there is just a small chance they can try surgery? I don't know. They've spent the last few weeks saying they can't do it, then they were saying they'd look again in a year, now this consultant is saying he will do another scan in January. And they're still saying surgery doesn't often change the outcome anyway, that sometimes it can make the tumour spread more.

So yeah. That's positive. So everything's fine. Just being silly.
