    I had my fifth chemo yesterday.  Again, I slept most of it thanks to the antihistamines.  I finished ‘already’ at 6pm!  Ruth came to pick me up, and took me for a lovely Vietnamese feast before dropping me off home.  She is an angel.

    I’m going to have a CT scan tomorrow.  I am hoping that it will shed some light how many cycles I will need.  Although, my medical team did say, I will have another PET scan after the sixth cycle, and if the cancer mass is still reducing, I will have more chemo.  The doctor I saw yesterday had not met me before.  We were discussing the PET scan pictures, and I said: “the cancer mass in my chest was quite big”, she immediately replied that my cancer mass in my chest was “MASSIVE”!  I think she was quite shocked how big it was… However many cycles I need in the end, I should at least be over half way through the treatment.

    I am feeling a little sick today, so I might have a snooze now.  Laters.
