Tuesday 11/11 . Chemo 2:3
Today's chemo was at 2 pm and not early in the morning, thank goodness
Before that , an appointment with my counsellor .
Alex and family are off to NY to visit Roberto and family and then on well needed holiday , 13 December - 15 December , which means that if my operation is brought forward they won't be around. IF , it is brought forward . However , if the tumour is responding well to treatment, then I will be having the third cycle of chemo , and a rest before the operation which will be in January next year and we should be ok . So , my counsellor suggested I take all this up with my oncology nurse so that she is in the picture and she can also alert my doctor who in turn should be in the know as she is part of 'The Team ' who are looking after me. Fingers crossed that everything runs smoothly.
I received saline solution cortisone IV and Gemsar yesterday. The nurse started with the vein in my left arm , but didn't quite get it right so had to take the right arm instead . Apart from that and a bruise , everything went smoothly and I was ready to go home around 4 pm .
Leisurely evening :
Dinner : mashed potato and home made coleslaw , nom nom , big glass of orange juice and few clementines
'Vanity Fair ' on Netflix
Emmerdale
and
Holby city
Oprah and Deepak Chopra meditation before bed
Ommmmmmmmmmm zzzzzzzzzzz
