Cycle 4 underway

Hi Folks,
It's high time for an update. I have had the next lot of chemo a week ago and I am feeling OK. My pain meds have been slightly adjusted so I am feeling quite drowsy at the moment.

A big week is coming up with a CT scan on Wednesday 12 Sept. It could be a test that either keeps me on or takes me off treatment. The Dr is definitely concerned that I will probably start experiencing complications in the near future. The tumours are so large that the pressure on other organs makes this inevitable. The follow-up appointment for this will be on 19 Sept to get the verdict. 

As I walk/shuffle around, I also know that I am doing relatively well as far as mobility is concened. I need assistance some of the time, and going out shopping is definitely fun when I can do it. Last week, we used a wheel chair to get more mileage out of our trip.  I still use the walker most of the time, but can't go as far with it.

The lymphatic massages are definitely still helping to shift things around and are aslo helping with toxicity levels. I will stick to having these for sure!

I am feeling OK in general, just needing a bit more support at home with practical, hands-on jobs. Thanks to the sisters and Sarah for the constant help.

Cheers to Cousin Mary-Jo for her special visit to Melbourne!

Love your Life,
Georgia
