Hospital was an experience I hope I do not have to repeat, am very sad at the direction nursing has gone, all science but not much art.
3 months later I am well and positive, I know that I will die from this thing BUT NOT YET. I have chemo for 7 weeks (3 to go) and then review regarding more or a gap before more. There is a time span apparently that chemo can be useful, about 6 months of treatment. Of the 3-9 months life span the Dr.s gave me initially, 3 have gone and I am so sure I will live more than the 9. Lynn and I treasure the time we have, we are having a Civil Union on the 1st November (Lynn said she had better get me while she can!!) counting each day as a blessing and planning trips and activities for the future, dependent on my fitness. I feel well most days, get very tired sometimes but no nausea from the chemo lately so that is great. My mates who I visited in Delivery Suite yesterday said I looked about 7 months pregnant, often wondered just how pregnancy feels, the bump just gets in the way of lots of things. Hopefully the chemo will slow the growth soon.
