Scan results

It was 2 days ago scan results day,the worrying doesn't get easier, it was an afternoon appointment so in the morning I kept busy cleaning the house. We arrived at the hospital, didn't have too long to wait to get called in, after the usual how are you Jo went on to say the scan had shown growth in all the tumours even the few in my liver had grown,really dissapointed not what I wanted to hear.  now my options are carry on with chemo and just hope after more it will slow down or stop the growth of them but no doubt this is slowing down the healing of my leg or stop chemo but if I stop then I can't have more chemo (the rules of the drugs fund). The room went silent as we all looked at each other, I don't have any other choice than continue with the chemo, so that's the plan another 2 month of chemo then back to see Jo.
 This means no holiday for me but I've finally convinced Chris to take Adam abroad for a week, he really needs a break and I hope it will do him good it's just what he needs, that's my mission today to find them a holiday where they can go and relax.
 I had chemo yesterday think it was number 16 or maybe more I've lost count! I'm also back on antibiotics for my leg it's getting no better and I'm still in compression. As you can imagine with all that's going on I'm not feeling too happy, I'm trying to stay positive but it's so difficult when you hear news you don't want to hear.
Love Julie xx

Another day,another problem.

This week has been nothing but appointments,Monday morning visit to the nurse to get my leg cleaned and dressed, the dreaded scan in the afternoon. Tuesday- Macmillan unit for chemo bloods. Wednesday-long long day having chemo Thursday (today)-went to the nurse to get my leg cleaned & dressed leg is looking much better she doesn't think I'll be in compression much longer,my heel is still not good there's a pretty deep hole in my heel,they treat it with balm cream and a soft sponge dressing and hopefully once the compression is gone they'll be able to concentrate on getting my heel healed. Then the nurse noticed blood coming from the corner of my toe nail as she had a closer look she looked concerned as its very bruised too,she said she would send an urgent request to a chiropodist,before I got home I had the call from them,I have an appointment there today at 15:50 so I've that too look forward to! I'm exhausted today from chemotherapy yesterday it doesn't get any easier. I have my schedule of dates upto Jan 2017 and scan results on the 19th July I just hope & pray chemo is still keeping the tumours stable.
 On Sunday it's that time of year again, race for life day I'll be doing most of it in my wheelchair and I'll walk what I can. A lovely/emotional  day with my family & friends expecially my dear Mavis (Clair) who's done it by my side every year and taking part for me one year when I was too ill to take part. I feel so lucky to have her as a friend. Also I thank all who's sponsored me so many kind people I hope it will all help to find the cure that's so desperately needed,I know I'll never be cured from this dreadful disease, but as long as chemo keeps thing stable then I hope to have many more years ahead to enjoy seeing my beautiful children grow up into adults and grow older & greyer with Chris! that's all I wish for.
Love always Julie
