So here I am, just had the third round of new treatment on Monday and wow how things change quickly. First round went very well and I felt great, as per the last posting, however last round was not so good to say the least. It was a complete turnaround, I was very fatigued and tired all the time. Not really sure why, but hey ho, so long as its working. And it seems to be. My7 blood tests showed that my PSA is now down to almost as low as it was when I finished my very first round of chemo last April, and I still have possibly several months to go on this treatment, so hopefully this will continue to improve. I won't find out really how well these first 3 treatments have gone untill next Thursday when I have my next CT scan, this is the only way they can say for sure that things are regressing. To aid the medicines i am on, I am still continuing with my alternative support therapies, such as the many vitamins I take every day, diet, and my healing friends. I am doing all I can, as well as being my usual positive self.
Things with the family continue to move ahead and once again I am so proud of each and every one of them. Freja is having rag week this week and is really enjoying it, but best of all were her AS results. She managed BBC, and one of the B's she got a U in the mock, so well done Freja, and keep it up. Max is working hard and still really enjoying his air cadets and football. Anya is now doing 3 ballet sessions a week, although she has sore feet from the pointe's, I am sure this will ease. Most of of all she is having fun and doing well. Yesterday she had a brace fitted, and this will benefit her in the long term, although she may not feel that at the moment. Max took the fun out of her yesterday, as brother's do, however he has to have 4 teeth out and his brace fitted early May, so he may get some payback. Leisha is also doing really well at school and has made really good progress this year, and is doing really well at football to. In fact both Max and Leisha managed to win player of the match on the same weekend.
Lastly Sarah is working really hard getting the loft ready for the extension, however a table top sale in the village actually cost us £4.50 to sell £5.50 worth of stuff, good job there was a car boot the next day, where she turned a good profit. She is also getting ready for her trip to Iceland with her sister a week Monday, which I truely hope they both enjoy.
We have also manged to catch up with some friends but not as many as I would have liked, given my fatigue, but I do have to take it easy, with the long term goals in mind. One small benefit this time is my next treatment is scheduled for Easter Monday, but we have delayed it for a week. This allows me to hopefully enjoy the Easter holidays with the family, as I have an extra weeks recovery, plus attend my cousin Tracey's birthday party, not saying how old she is but its a nice round number!!
Next psoting will not be as far apart as this one, as I will update everyone next Friday after my scans, as I know many of you want to know. So long as everything is working, I will continue on this treatment, so fingers crossed, and eyes, legs, arms etc. Speak soon...
