How was your weekend?

I’ve done pretty much nothing but sleep this weekend. Since my treatment on Thursday I’ve been completely wiped out with aches all over my body and a complete lack of energy

I’ve had to have breakthrough pain relief every day so far and Saturday I had 2 extra doses. This is just to deal with everything aching as I can’t take ibuprofen. When your whole body aches constantly it’s just completely draining.

It’s strange as I’ve been getting used to the treatment and each of the first 4 was slightly less problematic that the previous one however I’ve had a six week break and just had the single treatment and now it has completely floored me.

I can only hope that like previous doses, my body gets used to it and this becomes more tolerable as time goes on.

We’re hoping that this coming week gives us the good news we’re desperately looking for following my CT a scan that I’ll have on Wednesday. I want to hear the worlds “your tumours haven’t grown”.

Fingers crossed.

    So glad you managed to get the CT scan arranged. How long will you have to wait for your results, and have you had your vaccine yet or know when you’ll get it? x

      Could still be a long wait for results as all departments are so busy. And no vaccine for me yet as its unknown how it reacts to immunotherapy
