What a difference a day makes!
Last day before treatment #13, and I'm at last well and truely "up"! Not that I've slipped back since those duvet days, far from it - it's just that I've realised it's taken longer to get back up in #11 and #12 (a full week) than #8 and #9 (just a few days after the "dip"); which is an obvious expectation.
Had a great session with a locum doctor at the clinic on Tuesday (some have said "Great? With a locum!?!?"), she was on the ball, knew my case, and discussed some knotty issues with candour and sensitivity - not that the doctor on leave is/was any different, but the fresh view was welcome.
And we got one great piece of news: as indicated by each recent cycles' blood tests, my liver is operating "perfectly normally"! It wasn't, at the start of treatment, but it is now!! So my oft recited mantra " it's the chemo not the cancer" turns out to be true; and I'm not going to fight the chemo: "roll with it, let it do it's job!".
Here's to #13... and #14 before my next scan...
Well at least part of you is "perfectly normal" I assume the rest of you is plain old "outstanding"!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the good news...
That's the best news ever!
ReplyDeleteA Yorkshire lad with a properly functioning liver? That can't be right. You need a second opinion otherwise you're going to need a passport to venture north of Nottingham :+)
