Ugh!

Hey Albondigas

Sorry that your bloods were too low again. Pesky bloods, there is not a lot we can do 'naturally' to pick them up. There are forever taking mine and they always come back saying my hemaglobion (sp) red cell count and wbc and neutrapholis (sp) are too low but never do anything about it.

That was prompt for a scan, but yes it's those surprise appointments that really catch you unawares. I do hope it goes well and gives you good results that this chemotherapy is doing the job.

We just want to be normal don't we. How rude of cancer to interfere with out lives. I too am the same when booking say some time off work. I always think, hmm do I want to use too much of my holiday near the beginning of the year or should I save some for any potential treatment.

Really good you snuck in a sneaky break last week and enjoyed it. That's what we all need to keep doing.

Crossed fingers for the scan results.

Hi Albondigas 

What a pain with your bloods. Hope they are better next week. Good that you managed a little break. I’ve just looked at Merida on trip advisor out of interest, it looks very Roman, must be a lot of history there x 

Hi Chelle, 

The roman ruins are the only reason to be there, this part of Spain is very isolated and feels it - no major towns and very isolated villages, the romans made it their regional capital and hardly anybody visited since - hence lots of roman ruins and artefacts!

Hi Everyone, 

Got my treatment today, bloods were perfect.  Do have to inject myself for 3 days after today to boost my white blood cell count again.  No results back from the scan  - oncologist is chasing and will ring me. I told her I was worried because nothing seemed to be working and she said " you feel fine and we have many things we haven't tried yet ". I wish I had her optimism!

Wishing you all the best

Hi Albondigas 

Im glad all was ok and you had your treatment. Annoying about the scan results though. Hopefully you will hear soon x 

Hi Albondigas,

Great that you got your treatment, pity about the injections but as usual if it’s got to be done it’s got to be done

Im sure the scan will be fine, it’s just the damn waiting. 

hi Albondigas  glad to hear you have finally had your treatment. can be such a pain this illness. glad you have got such a upbeat ornacologist. TC

Glad to hear things are going your way now. 

Take care

Glad you managed to have your treatment.

Pleased to hear you feel fine Albondigas. Crossed fingers those results back up how you feel.

Hi Everyone, 

Back home after my few days in Cadiz, lovely city and beaches, good food and loads of places to see.

 Yesterday I had the phone call from the oncologist ( after waiting nearly 3 weeks  ) the treatment is working and all the nodules have shrunk , so they will continue the treatment and I have 3 more sessions to take me to 8 in total.
