This is my last week of treatment, until I have my 4 week break. Chemotherapy 7days a week, and radiotherapy 5 days a week is almost up. Thursday will be my last day. I'm feeling quite Lucky to have dealt with the treatment early on well.
Only the last weeks I have experienced more effects.thursday I get to ring the bell. Which I wasn't going to do. As I've always thought of in the past that a cancer sufferer rings a bell when all clear. But have soon realised that ringing the bell is the end of the first stage of treatment, the first chapter completed. So roll on Thursday and let's get that bell rung.
The 4 week break is going to be a nervous time. I have my scan on the 14th March and consultant on the 15th March, where we will find out what's been going on with my Glioblastoma. I've always been in a negative mindset, and suppose I still am. As from ghe 17th November all I have had is bad news. Initial diagnosis, surgery, finding out my tumour is a Glioblastoma and terminal, followed by a 2nd bleed and being admitted to hospital.
What where other peoples thoughts on the bell ring?
I hope I havnt sent anyone to but being able to write down feelings and thoughts, really does help.
Thankyou for your time.
With the 30 focal seizures I had, I was sound s sensitive as it would make me flinch up quite scarily. After surgery it was the same but it’s a year on now and it’s only if I have a proper jump/ or my mums dog barks ( the little dog bark of a dachshund ). And the flinch is 90% better.
Clearly that was very tough.
I hope the improvements you mention make life a bit easier now.
