Cycle 4 Underway

Hi All,
I am sure that news about the AFL Grandfinal (Go 'Pies!) is much more interesting, but to catch you all up with my news:

Cycle 4 Chemo is now over - I was in all day as usual on Wednesday, and spent 3 hours at Peter Mac Hospital both on Thursday and Friday. Apart from being a liitle unwell Friday morning, it all went smoothly. Thanks to my hero Sarah who has absolutely magic and my number 1 support since Day 1, I was driven in comfort and well looked after for each session this week. To make up for feeling unwell this morning, we had a great Japanese meal on Smith St Collingwood (go the 'Pies), on the way home!

I have bloods to come as usual on Wednesday morning week 2,  then in week 3 I have my next major CT scan on the Friday. This one is important as it may signal which direction my health is going towards.
Three options:
1. Tumour growth or new tumours will mean being taken off the trial and put on other meds.
2. Progression Free Comparison to the last CT scan - good news for me, and will mean staying on the trial (ends in November) with a prospect of knowing what new treatments might be going into next year.
3. Progression Free and reduction in size and/or number of tumours - great celebrations will occur, and staying on the trial!

I won't know these results until I see my specialist on Wednesday 19 October. I'll keep you all informed of the findings as they come through.

Cheers,
Georgia

  1. Eating raw fish would've made me feel unwell - BLURGH!!! Fingers, toes and everything else crossed for a 'celebration' result! xx
