Well mum has had 6 chemo sessions of carboplatin and etoposide and found out she was N.E.D. on April 8th. She has now had 9 RT to her head and chest and will have her final session tomorrow. Tomorrow it will be 193 days since the day that our world fell apart and we heard the words terminal cancer. Since then there have been a lot of ups and downs. At the moment mum is exhausted and I have really noticed her age over the past few weeks. Her chemo went well but the RT has really taken its toll something we hadn't expected as she had done so well with the chemo.
So tomorrow is not the end of this journey for mum but it is another milestone along the road which we will celebrate in some small way if she can stay awake long enough to do so. We've given up the idea of a holiday at the end of the month but have gone ahead and booked a week in Spain with family at the end of July. I pray that by then she will feel well enough to enjoy it and that she can get some respite from this horrific disease. She has been a wee brick through all of this and deserves a break. Love to you all. XX
