At last - the relief of knowing that I have beaten the devil again for the time being. My last treatment on Monday then freedom to enjoy my retirement for a while (hopefully a long while!). My GP was so pleased yesterday when I saw her, and the new oncologist I saw today really enjoyed telling us the very very good news- the ca 125 is down to 19 and the scan was clear, (and that was after 4 treatments) Here's hoping it…
I've just realised how long ago it was I posted on my blog. Locovan will have words with me....

(One son lives in the states and always has to do the rounds when they come home). It was everything I could have hoped for, even if I didn't have the energy to join…
Today we were back at the hospital and it's all sorted and agreed, I now need treating with Cisplatin as my cancer is growing so fast, and I am uncomfortable with the pressure I am getting.
All sounds fine, what's the problem? The day unit have no spaces in the whole of next week to fit me in!! Anybody got any idea where I go from here? I was hoping that I would be 'done' on Monday and the pain might…
