Chemotherapy Round Four

I am no longer allowed to enter any of the hospitals with Sue during her treatments or Dr visits. On Wed the 8th Sue had her meeting with Dr Lam in London Hospital.

Her white cell count was lower than all previous times down to 4.9, but still within acceptable levels. Dr Lam advised her to not go out at all, period. Avoid contact as much as possible. You know, the standard Coronavirus warning we all see on T.V. 20x a day.

Chemo was administered on Thursday morning. It took a long time for them to get the actual treatment ready, she arrived at 8:20am (for 8:30 appt) but they didn’t even begin treatment til around 10:30am.

Friday was a bad day, massive headache all day and blood pressure a little wacky. Not something that’s happened before, Saturday was an improvement and we are of course very happy she’s well over half way through, only 2 treatments left to go.

Sue has to attend St Josephs Hospital in London on April 27th for her mid-treatment P.E.T. Scan to see how far the tumor has shrunk. We haven’t yet received any information on if they expect any further treatment to be needed beyond the 6th (final) Chemo but presume that we might have some kind of information on that at the next Dr meeting after they have the scan results – which will only be a few days later – scan Monday, Dr appt Thurs Apr 30th.

Aside from that we’re doing everything we can to keep as safe & sane as possible.
