(17) An update ....

Less than one minute read time.

... on the medical front.

For those who have risked looking in for the first time, a brief summary of my treatment so far. Weekly Taxol chemo from July to November last year which did a wonderful job of shrinking the tumours. December to February this year I've been on Arimidex (hormone therapy). A CT scan at the end of February showed that the Arimidex had done nothing and the time spent on it has allowed the tumours to progress again.

So next week it's back on to weekly chemo for me but this time on Doxorubicin as fairy dust is out of stock!

On the plus side, the Doxorubicin is bright red (my favourite colour) .... ok clutching at straws on the plus side but every little helps!

    Thanks for the replies and good wishes everyone, I really appreciate them.

    Red wee ... hmm yes that would make good dinner party conversation material!!

    Jools, so far I've got 10 weekly cycles planned, although I noticed a little + after the number 10 on my notes yesterday so who knows!
