Hi Everyone
Thank you all so much for the positive posts. I have now had 2 out of 8 chemo sessions and the onc says she can feel a softening and slight shrinkage of the mass. I need an new MRI to confirm but she seemed very upbeat.
The chemo is hard but now I know that it is having an effect hopefully I can cope easier.
It has surprised me how quickly I seem to have gone from absolutely terrified to OK I didn’'t choose this but now I have it lets get on and deal with it.
My family are amazing. They know that I don’t want it to be the sole topic of conversation and are there for whatever I need, be it company ,advise on how I deal with the hair loss or practical support when I feel too tired to venture as far as the supermarket.
The hospital staff are such kind considerate people that they help enormously just by having a calming air about them.
Chemo No.3 is next week assuming blood counts are OK and strangely I look forward to another step towards next year and normality.
Love to all
