Well had CT results Monday, but was too hot to think that day. Anyway, mainly stable but with some changes in lungs - " partial response" to treatmen. They want to continue with current treatment until there is definitely evidence of no response. So on we go. I asked for another week off to allow platelets to recover and for me to get over 2 days of unbearable heat. So am as near human and normal as I can be today - except I just went for 5th jab - which will no doubt cause fatigue but nothing new there.
Hi OBS, that is great news on the scan results. I’m glad you have a few more days break in treatment, especially this week, this heat has been unbearable, so draining!
Good luck with the 5th jab, hopefully you won’t have any side effects. Xx
Hi OBS, just read your profile and this post, it's good new that treatment is working, and long may it continue, had my 5 jab a few weeks ago, sore arm and fatigue for 1 day, then back to normal, well for me.
Hope all goes well for you, 2 dogs to look after, walkies.
All the best Ulls
Hi OBS, great to hear mainly stable but a P in the A to have to continue with more treatment when you want a rest!
Haven't had my 5th jab yet awaiting the summons!
Hugs, Barb xx

5th jab wiped me out next day and some of day after too. Whcih was sad as meant another 2 days of being able to feel normal and do nice things was wiped out again. Had to cancel walk with friend who I hadnt seen for 6 months. However last two days I have felt much better - and was even contemplating some superficial gardening activity which was stopped by rain. It has been wet here on and off, so dogs and I have dodged the showers. My daughter who lives in Shefield spent the weekend at Blue Dot Festival at Jodrell bank, getting poured on most of weekend, whilst you southern softies were still dry and sunny. However she had a good time and hs just returned to sheffield to find it was drier there than Jodrell Bank was. This time last year she and I were preparing for Green Man Festival at Crickhowell - I think I have to recognise that was my last music festival, too knackered these days to comtemplate camping, even if glamping. C'est la vie.
I'm glad that you are feeling better now, perhaps you could manage a day ticket to a festival, or would it not feel right like that?
