Chemo Round 5 Update

Had pre assessment today and bloods are ok to proceed with round 6 tomorrow. The breast care nurse appeared for my appointment today ummm.... Due to the severe side effects I experienced they are going to reduce the dosage by 10% and all systems go for tomorrow. I have ice, ice cream, drugs, straws, tinned soup and mouth wash which I have already started to take. Any change I have been told to phone in no matter how trivial apart from if I stubb my toe of course. I should be more aware this time I suppose and I've made it clear I do not want to go to MAU again so fingers crossed.

I have ultra sound scan 5th August, pre assessment for round 7 11th August and first meeting with surgeon on 13th August to discuss surgery options. All go at the moment.

  1. You know where we are - do not, and I repeat DO NOT hesitate to call if you need anything at all - there are no prizes for stubborness and independence and you will not, I repeat NOT, go up in a puff of blue smoke if you ask for help. Apart from the lecture, sending you good wishes and vibes for today and this cycle x
