Well, after a long period of mostly silence the time has come, an update is due.
After doing so well with my ironman and my half marathon I started having a pain in my lower back and was feeling a bit run down. I stopped cycling and cut way back on my running (only twice a week and less than an hour at a time); this did not help much. My regular appointment with the oncologist told me that my platelet count was even lower than in the past and that my liver function scores were elevated, more tests were needed but it was looking like it might be time to start treatment.
A bit to take in after having mostly getting back to "normal". I had another CT scan and follow-up blood work then back in to see the oncologist. The blood work had improved slightly but the overall trend was consistent and in the wrong direction. CT scan showed a greater number of involved nodes and growth in previously involved nodes these plus conversation with the oncologist and our GP lead us to the decision to treat.
