Chemo Day Thursday, June 15, 2006

Filed under: Chemo etc — leonora @ 3:08 am

Well, here's the big one. Actually went extremely well - not the nightmare I'd anticipated at all (well, not physically anyway). After a couple of hours of waiting around, which is excellent in my experience of the NHS, and in a comfy chair to boot, I finally received my chug-load of toxic chemicals and felt surprisingly little after effects. Bit of nausea and a bad but quick headache and that was that. Lunch.

Of course, it wasn't that easy though was it? After the treatment, my consultant gave me the news about my new diagnosis. Officially, I have a very rare type of cancer which is known as Histiocytic Sarcoma. I can't really tell you much about it as I'm yet to find out more - seems it's so rare, there really isn't much to go on. Anyway, needless to say this has put somewhat of a downer onĀ things recently and kinda taken the breeziness out of me a little. But not too much - I still have sushi :)

So that was thursday, thought I'd bring you up to date x
