Being a forward thinker, it's been clear to me from pretty early on, that with J due to finish chemo in mid November we should know by christmas whether it has been successful or not. Lately there has been a lot of talk with friends and family about how it will be the best christmas ever. And i agree with them and secretly worry "or the worst"...
All that changed this week though, when J's consultant dropped the bombshell that they don't do a PET scan until 6 weeks after the last chemo. By my reckoning that makes it christmas eve. Meaning that we won't know anything until the new year. That took a bit of processing from me, but now i think it's actually a good thing. We can put it all to one side for a bit.
What I would dearly love to do now when J starts to feel better is to have a winter weekend away with the kids. Daren;t book anything quite yet though as the thorny question of radiotherapy has yet to be raised. J's consultant seems to have forgotten all about his back and the business of the tumour they said needed zapping. We're seeing him on WEdnesday so I will make sure we know what's what then...
Okay dokey...will update again soon...have v cheerful husband this cycle of chemo....the spirits are up!
