... and now we wait

Mixed feelings today. I had my six monthly CT scan this morning and they managed to get a canula into my chemo veins on the first attempt!  That's first time they've managed to do that in well over a year.

I see the oncologist on the 18th for the results of the scan. I feel pretty good at the moment, but I can't help thinking that this run of good luck can't last forever (though obviously I hope it does!).

From experience I know that the next 12 days will drag and anxiety levels will rise as that date draws closer, not so much in me but in my close family.

The only one not getting stressed is my dog, apart from the fact that she wants to go for a walk NOW! lol She is always good as a distraction ;-)

 

Cheers
Dave

    Hi Dave, like Brian and Lorraine, I can empathise with your mixed feelings, the wait for results and the slight feeling of pessimism about your run of good luck, running out! I'm keeping everything crossed for you! 

    Seems like we three are in the same boat - my next scan is next week and the results will determine whether more surgery is required.

    Can also relate to the way our families and dogs cope with this waiting period! Only wish a good game of fetch  could alleviate the stress in my human companions as it seems to with my little furry friend! ;) 

    Will be thinking of you, especially on the 18th. Take care Dave, hugs to you, Jo xx
