A while back I posted pictures of my first and last session with the radiotherapy machine and got so much love from you all.

A few weeks back I meet up with my doctor and got the wonderful results that the treatments worked! It actually has a quite low chance of reducing the tumors, but in my case it has reduced almost all of them. I’ve gotten some fiction back in one of the fingers and am feeling less pain overall. I’m very happy that it worked this time as it failed quite miserably with my feet.

It took me a good while to get back on track after the treatments, but now life is clearly looking up again!

The illness is an aggressive form of Viking disease, I had a variation of it in my feet that led to amputation two years back.

If you want to follow my journey with my recovery, sports, family and fun please take a look at my Instagram @ampisallen.

Very very happy for you brother 👊🏻 just got news on Monday that I had a tumor recurrence / additional progression of tumors, after having already been on chemo for a year 🤕 preparing for more radiation and more aggressive chemo in the coming weeks. Wish me luck

Radiotherapist here. We rarely find out the treatment outcomes of patients we see for weeks on end. This is really uplifting :-)
