Well, the saga continues!The good news is that I've dragged myself off the sofa a few times now, and I'm feeling better and more energetic by the minute. My course of steroids is also complete now (I had to take them for the swelling), so I'm not feeling compelled to consume a constant stream of chocolate (it was the steroids that made me do it, honest)!
The less good news is that we went back to the hospital yesterday to talk to the consultant about the results of the post-surgery scans. The easiest way to explain it is that they got nearly all of the worrying bit (hurray!), but there's still a little bit left (boo), which it was too risky to remove. So this means that there's more chemotherapy on the way. Very disappointing. But as always, I'm glad to have a plan. And even better, the plan is happening sooner rather than later - we start Monday. They're six-week cycles, so I'll do one cycle, then have another head scan, and we take it from there.
I have just one thing to say. I WILL NEVER SURRENDER!
This isn't the first time I've called upon Athena, Goddess of war and Goddess of wisdom. I'm also a fan of her hat.
I'll keep everyone posted. Over and out for now xxx
Hurry for the good news. Big hug for the next steps to keep you well. Love from everyone will keep you strong. I look forward to seeing many hats/scarfs in use should you decide to share any of those themes. PamF xx
