results, and a bit more positive

Well the results were back on Tuesday and after arriving an hour and ten minutes early to have bloods done, I was still sat there at 11.45, my appointment with the consultant was due at 11.40.  I went back to the counter twice and was on hot bricks, I was sure that they were going to say that the ct was not good news and so I didn't need bloods because they weren't going ahead with this treatment.  Anyway I was eventually called in for bloods and then off to the consultant, it was my favourite consultant Dr Barlow, she has a lovely way with her and never patronises me.  She apologised for keeping me waiting, she didn't give me that patronising look that I get from one of the other consulants gives me. 
Well Dr Barlow said, it is mostly good news, she said that the lump in my breast has shrunk, my ovaries have shrunk, and apart from one of the lesions in my liver which the radiographer thinks has grown everything is going in the right direction.  Dr Barlow and the other consultant that I find a little patronising both think the lesion is the same size and therefore stable, so treatment can go ahead.  As I am writing this we are the day after treatment, my veins are really beginning to struggle, the first attempt didn't work and was really painful, luckily the second attempt although painful was more comfortable once it was running. 
Woke up this morning feeling really rubbish, very sick and headachy, well I say woke up, that would imply that I had slept.  After having a couple of ginger biscuits and my tablets, I made it downstairs for proper breakfast of toast and marmite and tea.  Then a shower and I felt much better, Dear friend A came up for lunch with prezzies, thank you hunny.
All in all it has not been a bad week, I even got to have horse treatment, at the horses for special children centre, and I have been invited back, might try to do some volunteer work up there, that would be good for them and for me.
Signing off now, I have to make a decision about if I am fit enough to go out for dinner tonight as I have an invite from my dear friends T,P and H.  Where would I be without these fabulous friends. Best not to consider that. x <3
