After the tribulations - a calm last week ahead of 4th rchop next Tuesday
Good health - even managed a gentle circuit at circuit training last night
Bowels behaving - and not so tired
So gird up my loins for next chemo with fingers crossed
I believe I am due a reassessment after 4th chemo session - bated breath
So - a tired week after the steroids post last week's successful chemo session. Tired this week and constipation unpleasant- may have to laxido tomorrow
Granddaughter's christening this weekend and hoping to have more energy for that
But - a good week and halfway through the planned 6 sessions - fingers crossed for a good review after 4 sessions
On the up I hope
Consultants oncology and surgical agree I can have 3rd rchop - done last Tuesday and all ok after 2 days - a bit constipated
Consultants agreed to leave fistula and intestine wear and tear exposed by shrinking lymphoma (hurrah) until later
But on low residue diet so doubtless constipation will get worse?
Still - feel fine today
Phew - home and waiting on hospital surgical consultant and my oncology consultant to agree next steps. Hospital guy after CT noticed that lymphoma much reduced but had exposed the small bowel that seemed to be ok but gave a suspicion of a fistula joining across a loop of bowel. But wasn't keen to operate - wait and see given bowels working daily, and obs in hospital were positive - my bowel coping
Will oncologist…
Oh dear - not a good week - started Tuesday with losing breakfast mid morning. Ditto Thursday - and then Friday lost breakfast and dinner. All episodes after really vicious stomach cramp and bloating - very painful
Spoke to chemo nurse - and now I'm back in hospital Saturday lunchtime for 'assessment'. Hopefully nothing serious - these blogs on this site maybe suggest Opremazole playing up
