Today is review day for radiotherapy. A bit late if they need to change anything - ill only have 2 to go after today.
I presume its more about how I'm doing? Who knows? I have a few questions of my own to ask. Poor fella won't know what hit him!
Yesterday i erected my mini greenhouse. Very pleased with myself, although it was an easy job, only made hard by my inability to perform. I huffed and puffed. My hat was on and off. I sweated in the warm weather. I feel i conquered Chemo Brain. Notice the capitals. Respect where respect's due! Anything that can turn ones brain into a walnut deserves respect. I was able to sort out which bits were for which part. I now have a greenhouse. I now need to 'go shopping' for grow bags, tomato plants, lettuce seeds etc. I need to build up a bit more energy for that! And I'm hoping when I'm in hospital for 4 weeks, Sam will water them for me!!
I have proof my brain is not the size of a walnut!
During my review today i asked so many questions that he had to open up my file and look at my past PET scans.
Look at the size of that brain!
The one on the right was done before my first lot of treatment. The left was done last november whilst they were trying to diagnose me...again. I haven't had another one done since, but i did have a CT scan prior to radiotherapy. It showed that the chemo hadn't removed it all unfortunately, but hopefully the radiotherapy has finished the job. And if all else fails, the next lot of chemo will blast anything left into space!
My next scan will be 3 months after my transplant. Looking forward to that!
