We're just back from Dr Mehta, mums oncologist. He is delighted with how mum is doing and is happy for her to have the 5th and 6th chemo sessions. He says her xray looks great and has arranged for another ct scan when she has her final chemo so that he can decide on whether she should have RT. Also to decide on whether it should be to head, chest or both. Another boost for mum, she was delighted although the downside is she says she is doing well even though she's smoking.
I've tried to convince her that she might do even better if he stopped but after 56 years of smoking I think it might be a step too far for her to stop. And ofcourse I am still smoking so can't say a lot! I'm reading Allen Carrs book easyway to stop smoking and may even invest in going to one of his clinics. If it works the £175 will be well worth it. Don't know that it would work for mum as she already has cancer and it seems to focus on stopping before you get cancer as the next cig could be the one that does it. We'll see.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
