Day Eighty Seven

Yesterday was a long, difficult day - we left home just after 6am and got back just before 9pm. I found the treatment (and especially the ice cap) very long but one of the pre-med drugs they gave me really knocked me out and that helped a lot and meant it wasn't as painful. I wasn't fully with it all afternoon (my husband says he couldn't tell the difference!) and I was exhausted last night. Thank you to Dave & Heather for bearing with me all day :)

But I really feel the benefits of the new chemotherapy drug today - I slept well last night, don't have as many anti-sickness tablets to take and fell really well today! The best news is that the consultant said that the tumour is continuing to shrink and I'm going back to London tomorrow to have an ultrasound scan to measure the progress.

Heather left this afternoon - it was so good to have her here the last few days and she helped us so much with packing and being there with us yesterday. Thank you Heath :) We're really looking forward to Tommy, Andrew & Orla coming over this weekend to help with the move.

Thank you to everyone for your messages, texts, calls etc - they mean so much to us.

  1. Thank you so much for taking the time to give us an update. I really hope you continue to get positive news, will be praying that the ultrasound is positive and that you sleep very well again tonight.
    Hugs.
