... 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

  • We're thinking of you Dave during this anxious wait.

    I hope you have lots of lovely walks with your dog. Perhaps she picks up on the fact you are (understandably) a little bit anxious and she pulls your trouser leg to take you out for a walk? Or maybe she just wants a nice walk herself :D

    We've got everything crossed for you.

  • Hi Lucie,

    Thanks - I try not to worry about these things but I do worry about other people worrying ... if that makes sense. 

    I'm afraid she is utterly id centred and obsessed with retrieval  - even her walks are just a means to playing retrieval games. If I forget to take a ball, she'll hunt around for a replacement - sticks, stones anything that can be thrown and retrieved lol

    Cheers
