Mum had her final chemo this weekend. Started on Friday and finished this morning. She wasn't feeling too good on Friday when we came back from hospital and felt much the same on Saturday. She couldn't put her finger on what was wrong said she just felt 'out of sorts'. Today she has been a bit better and we went out to Ossie Mills to get her some material for a cushion cover she needs!! She's not slept so much today but I know tomorrow she'll be wiped out if she follows her normal pattern.
The district nurse is coming to give her the neulasta injection about 10.30 for her white blood count and then, on Tuesday afternoon, she will have another CT scan. I'm praying that when we get the results from Dr. Mehta on April 8th they will be good and we will be able to buy our travel insurance and book our holiday in Spain for the end of May. I hope she'll start to pick up in a couple of weeks and feel less tired so that she can have some normality, something she has not had since this all started but he might want her to have RT, so we'll see.
She has done so well and doesn't complain but I know the chemo has taken it out of her and she's not been out that much as a result. I stop for Easter on Thursday and have two weeks off so maybe we'll get a couple of days out towards the end of the holiday if we're not having to go for the RT in the second week. I am behind with my exam marking so will have to spend a few days on that but otherwise we're pretty much free to do what we want.
ROLL ON THURSDAY!!
