Pre chemo #6 update and good news.

I'm sitting here at the pleasure of the good ship Queen Alexandra hospital in Portsmouth waiting for my sixth round of chemotherapy.

It was supposed to be yesterday but some *plum* has lost my chemo chart. Dr B, my Oncologist was furious and went about blaming some nameless people and apologised furiously that I was summoned here earlier than was necessary. Meh, never mind, I've become a fan of hospital food....

The real big news this week from my camp is that the CT scan I had 10 days ago has been reviewed by Dr B and the surgical team. The scan is clear. No evidence of disease. I'm as clean as a whistle and all my organs are behaving themselves.

I am so, so relieved.

I am by no means out of the woods yet. I have 4 1/2 more years of scans and the all clear will be declared if the scan is still clean then. However, I'm very encouraged and this boost couldn't have come sooner. I can say I no longer have cancer, I'm a cancer patient who is being treated to ensure the utter swine never returns.

I've been grinning like a massive pillock the past day. I have more chemo today and will probably feel minging later, but I don't care. All this pain and being utterly sick to the stomach along with all the other side effects have been worth it thus far.

I'm going to enjoy this moment and hold onto it when I'm yakking later.

Update on how chemo #6 coming up soon, then Radiotherapy!

Who says I don't know how to have fun?!?
