After a two week holiday in Scotland I embarked on my fourth chemo session or "cocktail" as a fellow patient prefers to call it. Passed without incident other than the inevitable tiredness and the neuropathy. This is the last pre-op chemo. On being discharged from hospital my oncologist gave me a big hug and kiss on the cheek and said he was crossing his fingers for me.
Met with the surgeon on Monday. I'll have an endoscopy on the 27th and a CT scan on the 1st December. All being well surgery is planned for the 8th December. Christmas is going to be a fun time (not)! Still, if Santa brings me a cancer free future I will be more than happy.
Onwards and upwards.
