Hi people
thought I would update , I had my 6 month post treatment ct in nov, and all came back clear!!!
I left the trial (ICON 7)in oct due to side effects- still having them a bit, but if the avastin did this, I cant complain.
' no evidence of disease' - how sweet are those words,(I have it in writing, on the copy of the report). sorry for those who havent got them yet, I hope it comes soon.
On the strength of that have booked a holiday to cuba- 60ish days and counting till sun, sea...
Thursday 3rd December Plumber came back and sorted water - trouble is it's all brown. It's going to take a while to flow through. In the meantime, I don't trust it to wash in never mind drink. Wet wipes and bottled water for now. We rang environmental health and someone's coming out to test it next Wednesday. We have a spring supply and the plumber’s been looking at the junctions and piping in to the house - think a fair bit is going to be replaced which is great long-term. Boiler's being replaced...
Visit to surgeon went well he thinks the swelling is in my sliver-gland and not the thyroid glands.
He has booked me in to have a full body scan just to make sure every things OK. I know I'm getting better each week we're taking the dogs out most days and the walks are lasting about an hour. Still needing a sleep most afternoons. Stomach ache after eating still. Taking pain killers morning and night to help but I was told it would be a slow process to get back to full strength. After reading...

Today was a good day. Work was funny and productive, one of my Uni friends might be coming over from Tokyo to work in London and I got a fab wig that looks awesomely natural. Today I'm a happy bunny.
Got my scan tomorrow, and a nice lunch courtesy of a business contact and seeing Breakfast At Tiffany's in the evening. All round busy but nice hopefully. Gonna be knackered by 10pm! And I have to fit some birthday drinks on Saturday night followed by some indoor snowboarding on Sunday morning....
Well since last time l blogged l have started chemo last month. with Caelyx you have it once a month.
I didn't have the feeling sick as much with this chemo which was good. Just went tired as usual. My Mouth has been a bit sore this time. But l have not really started on the side effects yet. I am likely to have hand and foot syndrum, eg sore hands and feet. this is likely to happen after the next chemo which is on wednesday the 9th.
what l found hardest was that in the second week l got so...
