Hi all,
Following on from my previous post, I had the pet scan as planned on Wednesday. When I saw my onc on Friday he didn’t have the full report but he could access the actual scan.
Based on the previous ct scan and this pet scan, he is happy to go ahead with chemo as soon as possible. I’m to have between 4 and 6 rounds of docetaxel, starting after Easter.
As the growth is small he’s not expecting to see a massive change in the tumour but thinks it best to get it under control before it gets any bigger.
Im not looking forward to the side effects, apparently it will be less tolerable than the gemcarbo or the pembro I had previously but I’m praying it will be worth it. And hoping I can cope with the side effects.

For me it’s the fact that eyebrows & eyelashes really change your appearance at a time when you already can’t see the real you. I’ve got good at drawing on eyebrows but if I get it wrong I can look anxious, surprised or grumpy all day....stuck with one expression. Someone bought me stick on ones but I looked like the pantomime dame. When my hair grew back I also got a covering of soft blonde down on my face, when I complained to my OH he said he’d teach me to shave. When your confidence is low it seems to be the more superficial things that get you down. xx
