Dear Friends
As promised I am getting back to you...I know how important feedback is and I hope it will give help to others out there...
This morning we were at the Oncologist...Of course she broke the news to hubby that the latter months of chemo have just kept his situation exactly the same..Not for the better and not for the worse...Unfortunately he has not been able to tolerate the chemo for the past couple of cycles, which has given him DVT, neuropathy and high ferritin levels, (which also cause pain coming from the extra iron invading the liver...Also alas the fluid in his lung...
We are now having a break of all treatments, just blood test every week...In another month he shall start a course of TAXOL...This treatment of taxol will be given in low doses once every week instead of one dose every three weeks...
In the meanwhile we are just passing day by day with hope of some improvement after the next bout..
You won't believe what happened to me this morning...As we were leaving the clinic,still in the foyer, I slipped on spilt yogurt and landed on my hip, hand and shoulder..I had my shopping bag, with all the medical papers that side and that buffered the fall...My hand is a little painful, but I am lucky I am well padded in certain areas, (no comments please) and was extremely lucky no broken bones...Who will care for the Carer???
I was so lucky wasn't I...Anyway shall keep in touch, thanks so much for being here..Cyber hugs
