Weekly Carboplatin Continues

The plan is working. Weekly infusions at a reduced dose to enable my platelets to recover enough before the next session. Another 6 or 12 weeks of Friday sessions. The first 2 days after treatment pretty nauseous but come Monday I'm so much better. My strength is returning, the fatigue is lessening a little every day.  I am able to even walk some distance now. So happy that recovery is turning out just way my consultant described. 

I am thanking my lucky stars.

Thanking the NHS

Thanking all the teams of wonderful people looking after me in their different departments.

Thank you Thank you Thank you

The Old Oak Tree by Ivor Cutler

 

A little something to tickle your fancy this morning. Thanks Sheena for finding this gem for me.

Happy Feet

 

 

A week off treatment to give my platelets a chance to recover. Wow the idea that I might be a little less fatigued We Hey ! My belly continues to go down and my feet have come back, I actually have some ankles Woo Hoo ! and I can now wear a bra without cutting off circulation to my arms.  I have this line from an Ivor Cutler poem rattling around in my head. "Her arms are limp because her bras too tight" No idea which poem that comes from.

Here's to moving forwards and sometimes backwards and knowing it will take a long time.
