Sunday 18 April
Day 3 after treatment and all is good. No headaches, no nausea, a little underpar energy wise, some rosy cheeks but basically feeling good and positive about the possibility that I can carry on with my life AND have cancer treatment.In the consultation I had before my treatment I found out that my bloods were in good shape. I discovered that my CA125 had come down to 400 ! ! ! The last I heard was that it was 130 something. So between the 19th February and the end of March it had shot up to over 600. It was a period of realising that the Avastin was not working but my blood pressure was too high to have any new treatment so I had to postpone everything. What a relief to know that the chemotherapy is working. Now I can think about the future at least for 3 months of it anyway.
Last month I had a tricky time. The first week after treatment was not so bad, a little nauseous and a little fatigued but not too bad. Then I had my second covid injection that sent me to my bed with achey limbs and fluey symptoms. The next day I was fine. Then followed two weeks of headaches. I'd wake up at 5 or 6 with a vice like grip of headache that would eventually fade by about 12 noon after taking paracetemol and neurophen and being upright. I was convinced it was the covid injection, then I remembered how the first blood pressure pills had given me a headache DOH!
So I got myself a lower dose of ramipril (2.5 mg instead of 5mg) and as if by magic the headaches went away. These last two weeks coincided with my lowest point in the cycle in terms of my red and white blood counts and vulnerability to infection. My last week before the next treatment I was absolutely fine.
Onwards and upwards and the sun is out and the spring is here. I am planning my filming days for Odan y Wyneb / Under the Surface to happen at the beginning of June. I'm off to Scotland to do a live stream performance in the middle of May. Life is suddenly looking more interesting with some shape to it. Lockdown is slowly easing though I am aware I still have to be very careful.
It sounds like you have lots of wonderful plans! How super that your bloods are in good shape! I agree about being careful with the easing of lockdown, but how lovely to see that our world can blossom again, in tandem with the spring!
ReplyDeleteAll thanks to Dr. Colle on youtube that helped get rid of my ovarian cyst with his herbal medicine. his herbs are 100% natural and has no side effects. He has a youtube page (Dr. Colle)… i was advised to undergo surgery to remove a 5cm ovarian cyst.
ReplyDeleteThe cyst was unilocular with cobweb appearance, suggestive of a haemorrhagic cyst.
The natural progression of these cysts are usually spontaneous resolution. I contacted Dr. Colle and told him my issues, he asked me not to worry, he sent me the herbal medicine via a delivery service and i took the medication as he told me to. I went for check-up 3 weeks later, lo and behold, the cyst had disappeared! As usual… another miracle in my life. Contact him via dr.colleherbalhome@gmail.com

I don’t normally do this but i just want to share how i got rid of my ovarian cyst without surgery… when i learnt that i have ovarian cyst which was already large, my doctor said i need to undergo surgery to remove it. I also learnt that surgical treatment of ovarian cysts affects fertility by damaging healthy eggs. Women who have had ovarian cysts surgically removed will typically have a lower egg count and i was so scared because i need to have my own babies. I was on a facebook page and i came across a comment how a woman got rid of her ovarian cyst with some herbs… she also dropped the details of the doctor that helped her, i contacted the doctor and i explained my issues to him, he told me not to worry, that his herbal medicine can get rid of it within a week. I ordered the herbs and it got to me via UPS, i took the herbs for a week and he asked me to go for ultrasound after finishing the medication which i did, lo and behold the cyst was gone… i gave birth to a baby girl 6 months ago and till now there’s no sign of any cyst in my ovaries.. below are his details in which you can reach him via dr.colleherbalhome@gmail.com or call +393470387713
