Just another curve ball...Changes to Treatment.


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.
