No Chemo Tomorrow

Late this afternoon I got a call from the Chemo day ward, my chemo for tomorrow and subsequent chemo sessions have been cancelled.

Apparently this afternoon the chemo day ward reviewed my blood results and found one test slightly out of range for chemo, no big deal and normally my session would just be deferred for a day or so.  But they referred the result to the oncologist for his advice, he had the results back already from my CT scan this morning and due to the exceptional response I have had from chemo they have cancelled chemo and I am now being fast tracked for surgery.  No doubt I will have more detail after my visit to the surgical clinic on Thursday.

I have not really absorbed the news yet, I guess I should feel over the moon, the surgery, particularly the lung resection, is a bit daunting, but is my only real chance for a cure.

  1. I'm unsure whether it's 'good' or 'bad' - you say "Over the moon" and therefore I assume a small yet triumphant W00t! is in order :-)
