Haven't posted for a while, just working on keeping things as normal as we can during the pandemic and all the restrictions. Dave's had 6 rounds of chemo, Folfoxiri and Avastin to hopefully impact his stage 4 cancer with mets to liver and peritoneum. He was due a halfway scan after the 6th cycle but due to Covid the CT scans are cut back hence the delays. The radiology unit say it will be a few more weeks so he'll plod onto round 7 this week.
It's a real conundrum as we'd like the scan to know what's happening and perhaps some shrinkage (we dare to hope), but there's also a small comfort in not knowing just in case it's bad news.
On the bright side his bloods which were incredibly troublesome at the outset at 7.9, which almost stopped the chemo, have continued to increase each time before chemo and at the last session were 12.1, hoping this is a good sign. We've made loads of dietary changes and we walk at least 5km a day (except for the 3 days post chemo when he has the pump and steroids) and think this is contributing. He's been an absolute trooper throughout this gruelling treatment, fingers crossed we see some positive results soon.
Love Frances xx
