Christmas highlights

Well.... I did have my chemo last Wednesday, which in this festive season seems like a lifetime ago. It had been a month since my last infusion and the space inbetween had made the whole experience seem a bit hazy, but it all came rushing back when I walked through the revolving doors of the Marsden. 

A week behind....

I turned up today at the Royal Marsden eager to take my medicine, only to be told that my neutrophils (part of the white cell count) are down again and that I have to wait until next week for cycle three. It's so annoying! Just when the chemo is working I'm chucked off the wagon.

Good news!

We met with the Professor yesterday and were given our first good news since this whole saga began. The chemo is working and my tumours have shrunk a little bit! High five to Doxorubicin. The news was so good and so unexpected that we celebrated with pasta and an early night. Oh yes, don't tell me I don't know how to mark the big occasions.
