Magda has been staying over the last few days (& Susie also but
had to leave last night). In the morning, Magda & I we were both down
stairs when Chris walked down yawned, smiled & said yeah, I feel OK.
That was just fantastic.. The day passed by with Chris feeling pretty
Ok. She was actually pumped up, buzzing around & couldn't keep still at all. She had difficulty focusing on one task & also had
blurry vision. I do think this all may have had something to do with the 2 x Dexamethasone (steroids) she had to take that morning. They only give her enough of those tablets to last for just the two days after the treatment.
Either way, we were happy to see that she wasn’t suddenly sickly & obviously we all hope that this continues, although we know that this is a process which is to monitored day by day (the sickly times can hit any day).

Today there was no fever (a particular symptom of Hodgkins) Yaye! Chris also thought that the swelling under her arm pit had reduced... double yaye!
Although the reduced swelling & lack of fever may be from the effects of the Dexamethasone (known to mask fevers & acts
as an anti-inflammatory), we like to think that it's the treatment
taking effect already.. which it may be!
Despite Chris seeming to be a bit all over the place...I must say today has been a good one.. Yaye,
Yaye, Yaye!!!!
