Hi everyone,
Just a quick update to let you know that my doctor feels the CAT scan has shown a "major response so far" which is great news.
Of course secretly I was hoping he would say "its all gone ... no more chemo needed" but alas that is not the case. So its back for the next half of my chemo cycles starting this Friday. He did say I will need the full 6 cycles which means 6 more doses ....... starting this Friday. He did say he was very pleased and that it was a very good response.
I'm sure by this Friday I'll have my head ready for the next onslaught but at this stage I just want to enjoy my last day of freedom tomorrow by walking the kids to school, walking the dogs, having a blood test which I forgot to do today and then escaping to the movies to see "History Boys", back for afternoon pick up, back for Danny's music lesson and then out for tea with the women of Kelvin Rd, (my street). I'm going to need a weekend in bed with my bucket to recover!!!
So good news but lots of work ahead ..... at least I'm heading very definitely in the right direction.
Regards
Pauline

Hi Pauline
Glad you have enjoyed the break from the chemo though you are probably in a different place now after Friday's doings! I can appreciate your wanting it to be all gone but the Cat scan sounds promising....Pleased you are able to participate in some normal social outings and of course to delight in the normal everyday activities that are so often taken for granted, especially those with the family. Have just watched a DVD The Cave of the Yellow Dog which depicts the simple everyday events of a nomad Mongolian family. It was a real delight. Sounds as if you enjoyed "As it is in Heaven" as much as Julie and I. Among other things it brought back memories of another choir in which we were all involved. Enjoyed a walk around the Maribyrnong River this arvo. Other walkers are much more friendly at that time of the day than in the early morning frenzied walking. People are so interesting...
Take care, much love, the prayer is continuing that you do not get too knocked around in the coming weeks
