Just as I thought I was bossing the chemo and knew what to expect, two things happened this week! First, it became clear that I am facing surgery, which up to now I’d been imagining might not happen (though it had been mentioned as a possibility). They even have a date pencilled in, so that really brought it home. However, the good news is that surgery is likely to lead to a better outcome, so we’ll hold onto that! Then, yesterday I went for the third round of chemo thinking I’d be half way through by now only to find that the reaction I had to the drugs last time was more severe this time and they had to abandon it! So, I’m anticipating a pain-free weekend after all, but disappointed not to have progressed. I’m in limbo now waiting for news of new treatment plans and appointment schedules and so everything is on hold. On the up side, I do now have a wig that is a pretty good match for my hair. Don’t need it yet, but it’s there if I do.
I think I might start really planning out that cosy crime novel I’ve been thinking about in the meantime. And I’ve made a good start on Christmas shopping (online!) with all the sitting around I’ve had to do.
More soon
