The summer

The day after I came out from the Hospital, I went to a Funfair and had a ride on the roller coaster in Warner’s Park, near Madrid. It was HORRIBLE. Something moved inside my head and it started hurting so much… the ride was horrible. I came down and the pain stopped, but after that, each movement in my head caused me pain. I went back to the hospital, and they made me a CT Scan, to see whether the tumor was bleeding. Fortunately, everything was normal. The doctor told me that I wasn’t supposed to go to Funfairs. I thought that someone could have told me before about it. As the days were passing by, the pain started to dissapear, but it took it two weeks to dissapear...

The summer was quite long, let’s say. The Somatuline Autogel shots caused me, apart from a pain in my back, strong diarrheas, and I also was a little “feverish”. I was worried about my temperature, but I went to the doctor and he told me that maybe they were caused because my tumor was reducing… Well, it was not a summer to remember!

I had an appointment onfor the 15th of September to have a new MRI done, to find out whether I had had the luck to be in the 30% of the people whose tumor reduces. The picture on the left is from that day. I also had scheduled some more blood tests on the 28th of August to see how my GH was (IGF1: 477 ng/ml, GH:33.60 ng/ml)
Also, I started taking pictures of myself from time to time, to see if something was changing.
