The effect of the new chemo therapy

Jet got the stronger chemo therapy on 14/2 but the effect was so painful that  she had to go for 3 days in hospital last weekend to recover. 

In the meantime she feels better and we can enjoy the early spring.

Next chemo is on Friday 7/3 and three weeks later another CT scan.

If this scan shows that the treatment had no effect, the oncologist can’t do anything more. 

In that case we have not so much time left.

It is a difficult period, but of course we are still hopeful that this chemo helps.

Catching at a straw

The result of the last CT scan was disappointing.
Three chemo treatments didn't had the effect we were hoping for.
New metastasis were found in the liver.
The oncologist decided to describe a different chemo therapy as a last chance.
The first treatment took place Friday February 14. and a second one in three weeks.
Another liver scan must prove the effect of this new chance.
We grab all the courage we have.

The last period no messages on this site.

The conclusion: no message, good message should be seen as a wrong one in this case.

After the first chemo treatment on December 13., the process went on like it was predicted. The first week was not so nice, but after that we had two great weeks in Oostende.

The frequency of treatments is every three weeks. 

But the effect of the second one was much more complicated. 

Two weeks no energy, no appetite and a lot of pain in the stomach. 

Two clothing sizes less, but the desire for more weight is greater than the joy about a slim waist.

Also after the third chemo there is no improvement in the overall condition. The lack of energy is so frustrating.

On Monday a new CT scan and two days later a meeting with the oncologist.

We're waiting for a little spring feeling.
