Well yet another week spent with most of my time at doctors at the Mater! There was some concern earlier in the week that the cancer may have grown as I was getting chest and abdomen pain. I had to have another MRI and thankfully the results were very good - not only has the cancer not spread it has actually shrunk again which was just wonderful news. The pain seems to have been more pregnancy related which was a relief (baby is moving up now and I am also getting Brxton Hicks contractions- neither of which are a concern).
This week’s chemo went well. I did have a reaction again but this time only for about 40 minutes and I managed to not have the morphine injection (they had it ready to give me and I pleaded with them to just wait a little longer before doing it as it was starting to settle - those morphine injections are almost worse than the pain itself!!). I only stayed in hospital overnight and it was nice for once to have nothing go wrong. Back home now and hopefully I can manage the next two weeks with just my scheduled doctors visits and no more tests or hospital visits until the next round of chemo!
