After having a post-chemo scan on Monday today was results day, so it's been a funny old week. The best I can liken it to is being in the condemned cell waiting for a reprieve. Well, I didn't get one. I did however get a stay.
The good news was that the bowel area seems to be clear, but secondaries on my liver and lung have grown a little, so there's more chemo to come. The medics are now deciding which concoction of chemicals to drip into me next time so the PICC line is still in place. Whatever they use is likely to be a rougher ride than last time, but I'm hoping this will be third time lucky.
All a bit upsetting but no-one's talking doom and gloom yet, so onwards and upwards. It's almost four weeks since the last lot of chemo so I'm starting to feel a little more like normal, and I've another couple of weeks at least to enjoy that. However no doubt between now and Christmas I'll be reverting to my Rip van Winkle persona!
