I havent been on for a while as everything has been ticking over nicely and apart from a downer a couple of weekends ago I have been feeling really good. The cancer has been firmly at the back of my mind and life has felt vey normal.
I had my 3 monthly CT and MUGA scans last week and went for the results today. The onc was very pleased to tell me the cancer is still very much under control and with the result of the MUGA being 59 (an improvement from last time!!) I can continue on with the Herceptin...
Last few days have not been easy but a little more settled or so i thought , hubby so tired since incident at garden centre havent even tried to go out,
Left him to sleep in this morning which only made him feel worse, we cant win no matter what we do, dizziness and sickness slightly improved with new meds, but nothing to write home about, we were so hoping for a little respite and a bit more quality of life but i think i was hoping for too much, spoke to our macmillan nurse today about maybe upping...
I thought I would not write again until my mums first chemo session but when I sat down at my computer today I was compelled.
Since she had the 'small operation' on friday to put in the stent, she has been in such agony which i find horrifying to see. Yesterday she was ok most of the day but in the evening had a period of horrendous pain. ... apparently the doctors found the operation a little tricky and had to fiddle around a lot. With her lung biopsy and this operation she is finding it very difficult...
well it took three weeks but my hair finally fell out. It fell out in chunks in just over three days. not to worry shaved the rest off. better to have no hair at all than the mess of losing it all. ha ive still got my dignity. As long as you look after yourself and fight all the way you will never be a loser! bye
Had a great day today, went out for a drive to find somewhere nice for Sunday lunch and sliiiiiippppppppped on a huge piece of ice and the car ended up landing in amongst bushes and trees and sludgy mud just off the road! That did put us off schedule for and hour and 45 mins but hey ho it was good fun (only because the car wasn't damaged!). Some sweet lady bought us hot chocolate and biscuits which the girls loved, not everyone has a picnic in the freezing cold!! lol.
After finally being towed...
I'm due to start SIRT at the end of Feb. 3 weeks later than it should have been which means I'm without any chemo for longer than I needed to be which is a bit scary in itself. I've had over 6 months of chemo and as much as you wish you didn't have to keep taking the drugs it still scares the hell out of you when you don't have it.
I have the 'dummy run' to check the radiation will go in all the right places on the 16th and pray to god all being well with that, the treatment...

Bert was rushed into hospital in the early hours of Friday morning with a temp of 39.1 confused aggressive and scared. He most likely has an infection as his temp keeps going back up we are waiting on results of cultures to find out where it is. Until the he is on some strong antibiotics and they are keeping him comfortable. I will be sleeping in his room with him as I don't want to leave him on his own. They have fitted him with a catheter and he keeps trying to pull it out.But mostly he is asleep...
