Thursday 25th April, 14th day post 3rd Paclitaxel

1 minute read time.

I'm sorry I haven't posted much recently but I have been feeling a little low. I should have finished my Chemo 2 weeks ago but with my bloods playing up has postponed 2 of my sessions. 

I had bloods taken on Monday, but when I had my specialist phone call on Wed they said they needed redoing as they had clotted a bit but my infection markers were high. I told them I feel fine apart from feeling low and fed up. I have a stye so obviously a bit run down but not ill.  So now no hair, no eyelashes, very few eyebrows, and I can't wear make-up at the moment. I'm a real uncle Fester. Slight smile

I had bloods taken again this morning. When rang 3 hours later, I was told they seemed to look OK and if I don't hear back my Chemo should be good to go ahead tomorrow. It's 5.30pm now and there have been no phone calls. Please all keep your fingers crossed for me. I just want it done so that maybe I can have atleast a couple normal weeks before Radiotherapy has to start.

I have Radiotherapy planning appointment 7th May so I can't see it starting until June so I am praying we can get a holiday and change of scenery beforehand. 

Will try and write more over the next few days. X

  • I hope you got the chemo today? I managed to get through my three month course without delay, just one slightly off blood test, which they decided to redo just before the session, and thank goodness it cleared. Hopefully, you are one step closer to completing chemo now?
