Short update

I'm part way through my chemo now. I had two drugs at the beginning but one of them was only to be given three times and I'm glad that that has ended as it was quite a rough one. I finish the first round of treatment either today or tomorrow - am not sure yet, but hoping it's today!

My spirits are staying high and I'm so looking forward to being better and life resuming again - I'm pretty bored of all this now!

My blood counts are dropping and I need transfusions to keep my blood products up, so I wont be coming home in between this set of treatment. I can imagine there will be another 2/3 weeks being here before I'm allowed back home.

On the plus side New Zealand won the rugby this morning which I was able to watch in my room - even if it was a bit of a disappointing game!

My weight is coming up and I weighed 63kg yesterday. I'm eating lots and having lots of build up shakes (they have about 900+kcal) which seem to be doing the trick! I'll be back up to my normal weight soon I hope.

I think that's all for a now, just a quick update - I'm still around and doing a lot better as I was pretty sick at the beginning of the week but am fine now. I also had an MRI scan at the beginning of the week which was positive with no signs of regrowth! Some great news!

Thanks for the continuing support and prayers!
