Bless Rachel, she did indeed take the issue to the MDT meeting and she phoned me that afternoon to say they were very happy to scan me, particularly given I was stage 1b at my last scan in April 2012 and now I am 3c. I had my 3-monthly check up last Monday too and ended up having a punch biopsy that same afternoon (well, early evening) when the other patients had been seen to. It was just a tiny speck above my knee which had appeared a week earlier. Dr S thought better out than in so she excised it and rushed it through. Thankfully it was just a freckle that was in the midst of forming. I did a proper count the other day and found nine lesions I'd like to get rid of. I shouldn't think I'll be allowed though. They'd take a good three hours to excise, and many more pathology hours to inspect. So now I am just waiting for my scan date and I hope to god it will put things to rest for me. In other news, I have started running again! I've not ran since I was diagnosed in 2011. I'm only doing a mile and a bit every other day but it's progress. I'm also eating more fruit and less sugar. Then I really will have done everything I can.
