I saw the oncologist today - for the first time he didn’t tell me I’m looking really well - he asked me if I feel well enough to do chemo on Friday. I told him that even if they had to stretcher me in I’d be completing the chemo - he responded that it’s a balance between being committed to completing the treatment and ending up hospitalised
He’s ordered a stool sample to check that I don’t have an infection in my colon causing cramps and diarrhoea .
It makes sense that as I struggled with mouth ulcers on EC that I may have ulcers in my colon on pavlitacel
He also told me I won’t be back to work before the summer! As I don’t work in the school holidays I think that means realistically it will be September 26.
He’s booked on my surgery for mid march , I’ll then have between 10 -20 rounds on radiation. Then he’s expecting to put me on a CDK 4/6 inhibitor and 10 years of tamoxifen.
