........is very hard! We are given a plan and hang onto it with grim determination, it helps us get through this awful disease, and then they rip it up, throw it away and we are left floundering - confused, uncertain and nervous
Ella will start her next cycle of chemo tomorrow. A 24 hour delay as at the 11th hour they have decided to change the type of chemo Ella is going to receive going forward.
WHY - well as there is evidence of live cancer cells in the tumour they removed two weeks ago, they believe a change of chemo is the best approach to eradicating any possible live cancer cells that may be left in her body!
SO- she will be in the Oncology hospital till Sunday on some awful toxic chemo that is gong to more than likely make her feel awful. She will then be home for two weeks before going for another week of chemo, that will complete the cycle. So a four week cycle - with two periods of time in hospital. How many of these cycles is not confirmed - but its more than 3!
NO - I don't know when they are going to do the second operation on her arm.....
FINALLY - whilst you are all praying hard for Ella and Sophie - please add my lovely Mum to your list! She was rushed into hospital on Saturday - unable to swallow. As many of you know she has been very unwell for a long time with a chronic heart condition and secondary breast cancer cells in her lungs. Today they have finally established that she has some kind of growth in her throat and now need to carry out further tests.
MY - wonderful, lovely brothers are taking great care of my Mum and Dad
