Well I had treatment 1 today. I am staying in hospital overnight tonight to dose up on fluids and hopefully feel a little better. I feel pretty revolting right now but that will pass in a few days. I spoke with Dr Taylor and he said that I will have a CT scan in a fortnight and then he will assess from that whether I need anymore treatments. I am really hoping this is it as I really dont want to have to go through this anymore. I am totally and completely over it. If in two weeks I get told the chemo is all over then I can start to try to relactate and start to breastfeed Arielle again. There is a possibility my pituitary glands have been damaged and I may not be able to produce enough milk to fully breastfeed but I would like to try. Jane currently expresses enough milk for Arielle’s day feeds and Arielle loves the breastmilk. I am very lucky to have such a wonderful friend.
