Next phase coming up!
Yesterday morning my doctor from Boffa phoned me to let me know that the cytology results had been received; that they wanted to adjust my treatment. Oh yeah, and forget about the break till 14th December: gotta go in tomorrow already. *Takes deep, deep breath*.
Pain level is as bad as ever (apparently that is due to the radiation I received to those bones last Monday). Probably it wasn’t very wise to have the bronchoscopy just 2 days after chemo either. I can’t say I’ve bounced back from that ordeal yet, mainly because I had to spend a full day without pain/anti-nausea medication. My stomach is in quite a mess… Oh well, I suppose that was enough complaining for one day!
After the phone call from my doctor, I had to have yet another blood test done to ensure I’ll be ok for chemo on Monday. We had a couple of hours before collecting the results, which hubby and I spent having coffee in Xlendi. The weather was absolutely amazing – downright wondrous considering that a lot of Europe is already covered with snow!!
By the way, I’ve had much of that hair chopped off a couple of hours later! Not sure when you’ll get to see a new pic… For now I leave you with this sunny vista and hope you all enjoy a peaceful First Advent! Talk soon…

Oh Sabine, I am so sorry. I’ve been out of the loop for a while owing to nothing more significant than work and am dismayed at how things are going with you. I am thinking of you as you go through the chemo – I just hope it gets rid of the pain at long last. All you can do is endure and this too will pass. A big hug to you,

Glad to see you found some time to relax in your favourite place! The haircut suits you! Wishing you all the best this coming week. Keep the spirits up ……
Hi Sabine,
I don’t know what to say, but wish you all the best and strenght for the coming period!
Since I met you in May, I am reading you blog (through Carin) every now and than. I feel for you what it’s like to have cancer. I have experienced it firsthand.
I thumb up and hope for positive results soon to read on your blog.
fingers crossed, Anita
