May 2022 Update - New Medication Regime - Visit to Whanau
22 May 2022A quick update for May 2022
Angela's new chemotherapy and bone infusion regimes are giving her some respite and a little pain relief.
She now visits the hospital to have her chemotherapy treatment on a Monday for two successive weeks, then gets a week off for a break. Ange says the new chemo is OK and she can manage the discomfort and pain - the week off from having treatment is a bonus.
Latest scans have shown slight improvement from the periodic bone infusions but still having a lot of pain in her back for which the specialists can not pin-point the cause. The bone infusions are not pleasant and give her a lot of pain for days afterwards. She has no more radiation planned at this stage.
Angela has planned a trip to Taranaki to visit her very large whanau up there - most have not seen her since 2017 when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer. We all hope flights up and back are not too uncomfortable for her, as her mobility is still limited after the pin was inserted in her thigh. We will spoil here while she is here.
Again, much love and many thanks to all who have supported Angela on her nearly five year journey - We all really appreciate it.
John, Glenys and Family
