Hello all,
Steve is recovering from chemo, good days and bad days......It usually takes a good ten days so we are hoping that by the weekend he'll be feeling better.
They decided to stop his IVIG treatment for now. They want to see how he recovers from the chemo and how the treatment of the cancer will help his autonomic problems so they will wait till after his radiotherapy and then we'll be back to the neurologist in a few months to see if he has improved and what further treatment is required.
Steve is pretty happy to have a break from hospitals and being poked and prodded. He has a scan on the 3rd Feb to check the cancer is gone and then a few weeks of radiotherapy concentrated on the area of the tumour. So a few more weeks of waiting and then hopefully we can relax a little. He's looking forward to the spring, he really feels the cold at the moment. Then we can get him into the greenhouse that Justin and Jake have been working so hard on building for him and i'm sure he'll start feeling better. I never thought my husband would turn into Alan Titchmarsh but there you go! There are worse things in life i guess!!!
so glad you're blogging again( is blog a verb?!) It's great to get updates this way and to read what all the other people in your life are doing. I know, I'm nosy! I was so glad when you started skyping me again over the weekend Stephen, you seemed so much better, hope you will feel better again very soon. Can't get over how blonde Zavi is! All fine here, the snow is all gone and now endless rain, Frankfurt is due to flood tomorrow as the river Main will burst its banks, glad I live on the third floor :)) Let me know when would be good in Feb, lots of love to all of you, Linda x x x
