Nearing the end of this part of the journey

1 minute read time.

Well having re-read what I've written so far I am truly glad to say this bit of this journey is so very nearly over.  We have 10 days until round 6 - last chemo, the two antibody's on the end make our real end date November but it's the chemo I will so glad to see the back of.  Some form of normality must be returning to our lives as I got really mad with M today and left at home on his own to sleep.  My usual patience levels are returning (not much to be honest) and I can't wait for Saturday and a whole day away.

What has amazed me is my now complete intolerance to fools and wimps and anyone else who gets on my nerves.  I was never particularly good at tolerating fools but now I am completely rubbish at it, even M when he does something totally senseless.  The indigestion has come back and so instead of getting up the past two nights and either taking some more meds to sort it or getting the bottle of soda water that usually works he's decided to stay in bed, awake nearly all night and just get more tired - well done you - maybe he was waiting for me to wake up and sort him out but I slept through it all!

So close now to the finish line - all we want is the PET scan and to hear no evidence detected and we can start to find our new normal life, I can be his wife again not his carer and hopefully through volunteering for the peer review programme I can make a difference to someone elses journey.

    Hi We're ok right now it's countdown to the end so both feeling lots better and most exciting of all we've bought out little one her own pony for her birthday (this Tuesday) and she knows nothing about it. I'm probably more excited than she is! Hope you get some answers for J and the scans are good xxx

    She thought we'd extended the loan of the pony and cried when I told her he was hers, so lovely to watch and she was amazed by all the new tack and stuff xx
