Too nice a day to spend indoors in quite small room, but wood outside and breeze from the window. Geoff worked and I read, listened to my soothing friend Leonard and dozed. Plenty of encouragement to drink, though sadly no prosecco.
1. the line went in first with hardly a bruise left to show it had been there.
2. All the various hydrations, minerals, flushing stuff flowed through painlessly as well as the two chemo specials
3. Most exciting, my blood test was very encouraging with excellent kidney function (crucial as chemo can't continue if they are suffering) and white blood cells fine; red bloods down but that's a slow long term thing;
4. my liver tests show significent improvement which shows even the single treatment last week has had effect
There's lots more detail but that's enough to make it worthwhile.
We celebrated on the way home by buying hanging baskets from an enthusiast's garden and splurging on goodies from M&S.
Cheers!

ReplyDeleteOnly just heard the news and read your blogs. We are thinking of you both and can only hope for the best. It is cold and foggy here in Canberra, so you seem to be in a better part of the world at the moment!
VERY Best.
