19th June, 2012
Today, I arrived home, fresh out of hospital,
after being away from Chris for days. I couldn't have been happier to see her
face & to be back under the same roof again.
The last few days have been grueling, having not been able to be together +the fact
that it was a tough weekend for Chris, as it was her "bad" weekend,
the weekend after chemo treatment is
always a hard one.
Chris's Mum came to care for Chris while I was
away but she also ended up leaving after 1 night as she too felt as though she
was coming down with a flu.
So, my poor baby was left on her own from
Saturday through to Tuesday, so it really felt wonderful to finally be
reunited!
Late that afternoon as we were both recovering
on the lounge together, Chris received a call from Dr Blood. He advised her that they have looked over the
scans again & decided that she should continue her chemo treatment, right
through to October & that they have decided to put a hold on the radiation
portion of her treatment. Chris can't recall exactly what his reasons were, as
she told me that she switches off when he talks to her due to the fear of
having to hear something negative.
I was shocked with this news but Chris said,
" well it's better the devil you know" having to now continue down
the chemo path.
We are waiting for Chris's next appointment
with Dr Blood, to ask why the treatment path has changed. We can only continue
to remain positive & just try to tackle each day as it comes, but I got to
tell you, it's been a shocking week & will be glad once it's behind us.
