I'm a happy girl this weekend for the first time in weeks. I didn't realise how much I've missed my family and extended family and seeing them has made me push harder for my degree and its given me the energy to keep going on :D

Well things are really on the move now,Russell has his PET scan on tuesday and pre chemo checks on wednesday chemo starts within a week from then.
We will will find out within the week what the computer decideds his chemo drugs will be, has he's been accepted on the 'REAL 3' trial with a 50/50 chance of having Panitumumab.
The good news we had was that there has not been much change between his two CT scans,although they're still concerned about the lymph node in his neck,his staging...
I really wanted todays blog to be positive, instead of my usual moaning ones. Unfortunately fate has stepped in again and I cant, Positive thinking is just not working at the moment.
Before I start I would just like to thank everyone for their blogs they really do help and I apologise that I haven't replied to any. I have tried on many occassions to reply each and every one touches me whether its good or bad, and I would love to respond. But as I write a reply it just doesn't seem the right...

When I look back over the last 2months I think the news that I would have chemo came as more of a shock than the news that I had cancer again!
Listen to your body ladies - Oncologist, Mammogram, Ultrasound and Radiologist all said everything was clear. I had been there before 9 years ago and My body was telling...
