    For some reason I'm reminded of a FIFA soccer video game from the early 2000's....

2021 -A third journey in our waka across a rough sea

Image
 So thought I should update everyone that Renene and I have unfortunately had to jump back into “rowing our waka through rough seas”. Scan in December showed a growing lymph node behind the left collar bone . Subsequent biopsy has confirmed same cancer as lung. Had a further PET scan which showed likely new node in middle of chest and probable spread to right 4th rib . Had a biopsy of the lymph node in chest today. Some of prior cancer tissue from prior lung biopsy has been sent to USA for extended genetic testing to see if there is any unusual mutation that may then allow a more targeted treatment . We have stopped the current immune therapy, Durvulamab at dose 23 out of 26 as clearly has not prevented progression. Seems likely we will have to proceed to a second chemo course with two drugs plus perhaps another immune therapy such as Keytruda if there is no specific new targeted therapy. Disappointing for Renene Geldenhuys Jelley and I and our family as you can imagine.  True...

D - 41 - Baby and me and last date “ - We are out of here heading for treatment vacation

D - 41 -  Baby and me and  last date “ - We are out of here heading for treatment vacation. Last “Hat” for this cycle So we have crossed the final hurdle of this current treatment cycle. I attended my last radiation today and we kept this “hat” and dress code for this final day. A celebration and an indication of the start of our “holiday from treatment”. In an earlier post I described the “machine 6” that has become part and parcel of my everyday life,  but for  a few, for six weeks now. One of the things I described was the unusual shape of the filter for the radiation when it was setting up to start the treatment above my chest. It resembled the “baby doll”. Well today I lay on the bench , asked my parents , Bill and Mar Jel , to be beside me in spirit, and we all said good- bye to the “baby”. At the end of the session I put my hand up and said thank you to the machine itself. We thanked the amazing people who had provided such fantastic care a...

D - 38 - when the word “Finished” shouldn’t be threatening - But is !!!!

D - 38 - when the word “Finished” shouldn’t be threatening - But is !!!! Second last day of current treatment regime - handed a schedule of treatments by wonderful smiling lady at reception desk. Her comment - ” it is always nice to see this final piece of paper.” One line , one appointment and the word “Finished”. Surely an exciting and relief filled experience ! NO! I became overwhelmed again feeling vulnerable and anxious . “ All at sea again”. Amazing the human psyche . So good to have two supportive hands to hold onto this morning. Sitting waiting for my turn today outside the radiation room is the first time, the noises that one hears whilst someone else is under treatment , have felt threatening. Just like The claxon one hears in a submarine in distress in the movies.! Renene reassured me and framed it differently.  “ think of it as something “sculpting” a piece of  that cancer into something different , less dangerous. Certainly navigating “rough” ra...
