Day 2 Cancer treatment



So day 2 done and dusted. Shorter day today. Radiation for 10 minutes. Sexy gown to wear . 2 hours single drug today and next days till Friday and then full day Monday again. Hiccoughs main challenge today which aggravates the Heartburn. Never taken so much medicines . Rattle with all the tablets both mainstream and healtheries.
Bumped into our oncologist from Friday. Very apologetic about difficult Friday but will chat to drug rep about opportunity to access another drug which company is supporting patient access . Let’s hope some generosity can give us access beyond current cut off date of 15th January as our post treatment scan will occur just after that date .

I have the most amazing caregiver in my wonderful wife Renene

Brightened up my morning which was feeling quite miserable until they popped in with their always bright smiling demeanours and happy vibes . Truely blessed with our Whanau  The humour we have been able to find in our various hats we have found or been kindly provided by our great friend Minette Kuhn, has helped keep the chin up and a positive approach to the journey. Today’s hat...
