Update after my 4th treatment. 
I had my 4th treatment las5 Thursday. I really did not want to go because I have not had a good day for about 3 weeks. I was originally told that I would be taking a break to have tests and scans. 
It has been decided that I will continue my programme without a break. I keep getting reminded that the Chemo is the most important thing. I have seen my consultant today and my PET scan will take place over the next few days. The results will take sometime will determine if the cancer is reducing. I will also be reducing one of my Chemo meds to protect my Lungs but this is standard after the amount of chemo I have had so far. 
I’ve managed a walk today for the first time in a while. Hopefully I can keep it up and move a lot more over the nex5 week until my next treatment. 
im staying positive and hoping for more “normal” days. 

Best wishes to all 

Update after 5th Treatment. 
I had my PET-CT scan last Tuesday. I was stressing about the result. As long as the cancer cells reduced then I could continue with my treatment. 
I had my 5th treatment on Thursday. They did not have my result and the other two who are on the same programme as me didn’t get there’s either. 
the hospital did decide to reduce the chemo medication that could damage the lungs if used to much. 
I contacted the treatment centre yesterday to ask about the results. I was told that the cells are reducing as required. I was not given a figure but as long as it is going in the right direction. 
my only concern is my immune system numbers are on the very low side. It’s making me more aware of my surroundings. 
my heart meds have also been changed due to low blood pressure. 
I had a good week leading up to my treatment. Fingers crossed I have a few more of them to come. 
onwards and upwards with a positive attitude

Best wishes to all 

Well done i bet it’s a relief to know it’s all going on the right direction wishing you luck with treatment 6  - I had my treatment delayed because of low bloods count so I know how u feel about that , it makes you very aware of being extra careful not to pick any nasty bugs up off anyone.

Update after treatment 6. 
The chemo day went well. I’ve felt my usual after treatment mainly fatigue. My blood pressure is consistent after a reduction in my medication. Luckily my local GP asks for weekly readings. I got a copy of my PET-SCAN report. The cancer nurse explained it to me. I wanted to know if the cells were reducing in size or disappearing. Apparently it’s both. The cancer has reduced by about 95%. This is amazing news and it means I can continue with my present course of 6 more sessions. The downside is that my immune system is still reducing. Again I have been advised to be more careful of being around people and to monitor any temperature rise. 
onwards and upwards.
