Update for 17/08/2014  17 August 2014

Enter details of your update here Two treatments complete and I have to say I am feeling wonderful. For some reason the drug arrived at the clinic 12 hours early. I received a phone call at 4.30 on Wednesday night to either get to the clinic by 7 in the morning, or come now. I replied that I will be there in the hour, as they do prefer the chemo to be administered asap after it has been mixed. I rung a friend who was able to come with me, and then drive me home afterwards. The drug takes 45 minutes to administer and then we come home. The next day is slow and I feel exhausted. But then I recover and it is back to normal. A lump on my neck had arrived and was noticeably growing, this has now shrunk so I am certainly positive the chemo is working. (Absolutely Awesome Amazing news)
