Day 95

Spoke to my oncologist today regarding the scan and the cessation of my treatment. He told me that my biggest lump was just slightly bigger than a golf ball - it's now the size of a malteser! And the smaller one was 2.5cm big, it's now 6mm big... and this was only after 4 rounds of chemo. I feel so much happier. I also asked him about having more rounds of chemo, which he didn't deny was an option. However, he also told me that I can have docetaxel every 6 months if necessary. The problem is that prolonged use of the drug compromises my bone marrow, if I have a rest in between it allows my bone marrow to recover. I must admit, my legs are achey, I have noticed that stairs are an effort. I told him how well I was feeling and he replied with imagine how good you are going to feel once the chemo has stopped - good point well presented! I felt well enough to do a full day on my first day back to work after chemo. The new diet has begun as well, low protein, lots of fruit and veggies. I have got to give me the best chance to keep up the good work.
