I went up to the oncologist yesterday and heard that as I have a slight cold and am waiting for a dental appointment I have another 2 weeks before starting my next chemo session and having the pamidronate. I tend to sleep a lot in the week after pamidronate and feel a bit nauseus while on the chemo tabs so I get one sleepy week, one more week on chemo and then one really good week when I don't have to worry about eating meals at the right time and remembering to take tablets within 30 mins etc. We are going to London for a few days after next weekend so I should be feeling really well, hopefully.
I also found out that the results I had from my CT scan were not typing errors as the doctor had thought. She felt that it was not likely that my liver tumour could have been 15cms long in the May CT shrinking to 7cms now, She thought it should have been millimetres. The oncologist looked up the scans and said that it had been 15cms or 6inches long in May! I asked how many mets there were in the liver but she said it was too many to count, just multiple! But hey if they have shrunk by half, I am as my teenagers would say "well happy". I am still wandering around amazed at how much better I feel. Just to be able to take a deep breath and walk at a normal pace seems great to me.
