Treatment 3/8

I met Ian at the clinic yesterday to review my blood test results and all seemed fine. They check to see how my white blood cells are doing. The chemotherapy attacks them but if they get too low I will be at risk of infection. Mine were low, but not too low to go ahead with the next round of treatment. It's a tricky balance to get right!

Had the third treatment session today and went well! The drugs all went in fine and fairly quickly, not much waiting at the clinic for the rest of my drugs to bring home. A lovely sunny day so I walked home from the hospital in time for lunch! Sarah and the children came over and we all went to the park - a marvelous afternoon!

I have extra and different drugs for the various side effects, and hopefully, they will work and I won't be as ill this time round. I have already planned a busy weekend ahead so I'd better be OK!

Next session in 3 weeks and I will be half way there!
