We're just back from a lovely few days away in time to start my next cycle of chemotherapy. The oncologist decided to change the drug as my blood count was low as a result of the last drug and this new one doesn't have as much effect on the bone marrow. The only down side is that it's meant to make you feel a lot sicker, so they administer it in 2 doses - a week apart.
We went to London yesterday for my first dose and I came back expecting to feel really sick for a few days. Thankfully I haven't been sick at all and so far I feel much better than I did on the last drug!! They did give me an extra anti-sickness drug beforehand so I think that's what made the difference :) Part 2 is next Tuesday but in the meanwhile we need to go back tomorrow for a scan to see how the treatment is working to date...hoping and praying for the same good news we had the last time!
