3 month marker!

Hi everyone,

well as you can see from above I have been recieving chemo for three months, 6 gruelling sessions, but I am the other side of halfway and I can see the light at the end!!!

Unfortunately the sickness has appeared and although I do have good days, the bad days are becoming more frequent, it seems to be all change! As long as I don't do anything, including moving some days, I am ok.

I will not bore the horrible details, that is saved for my diary and those unfortuante enough to catch me at a bad moment (apologies to those people). So I will instead give you some good news.

At my last clinic appointment (approx.2weeks ago) I was told that all the tests they do each week were beginning to reveal that the levels of the various things I'm tested for were returning to normal. An initial examination by the doctor shows that the surface tumours I had in my neck and my armpit have gone!! And I am having my half way scan this Wednesday (25th) at 2pm to see what is happening to the tumours inside (behind my right lung and in my stomach), but given the test 'scores' the doctors are hopeful that those lumps are too disappearing!

So I ask that you can all be a bit more patient with me as I get more crabby, please remember that 9 times out of 10 it isn't personal!

Love to you all. God Bless and keep you safe!
