Today Marc and I had a really good meeting with Dr McCrystal - everything is full steam ahead to start chemo again tomorrow which is really positive news. I will have it once every three weeks, and the side effects are expected to be quite minimal which is great news too. I have had one session of it before, however I think that the brain tumours were causing more of the side effects than the chemo itself - so it will be interesting to see how I go this week. I will have a CT scan in the next 3-4 weeks just to make sure that everything is behaving itself, and then I might be cleared to fly in about 6 weeks time.......Melbourne and/or Fiji - here we come! I have picked up a 'slight' chest infection, so we are on antibiotics just to make sure that doesn't hinder anything.
I donned my 'j-lo' wig today, and had a great lunch with Ryan, Ruth, Ness and Armin - followed by a sweet muffin. Today my steroids dropped from 3-2 and touch wood I have only had one 'wig-out' (that was for you Gina) at Marc - so that is progress too.
