Hey all,

Boys both in bed and OH doing the shopping list so I've got a few minutes again

So I had scan last Monday and they said results would determine what chemo I had on Wednesday (they talked about reducing dosages if good response to treatment)

Turned up for treatment and they were just going to start as usual until I asked. OH had to just drop me off as working so I was on my own. The nurse went off to bleep specialist haematology nurse then came back and said 'she's on her way to speak to you but we're to carry on as planned'. I was like :eek: thinking that meant the treatment hadn't worked.

When she arrived she said that tumour has shrunk 'a bit' but that the cancer activity within the tumour has reduced significantly. I'm not entirely sure what it means to be honest and will have a lot of questions for the consultant later in the month. I'm guessing though that it's becoming more benign. So they've decided to keep at the high dose chemo but just for 6 cycles instead of 8. I might need some radiotherapy afterwards to target the lump if it's still there but we'll cross that bridge nearer the time.

Have found this last cycle much tougher and I know they get worse so am really relieved that the chemo will be ending sooner than originally planned. Will have completed half of the IV chemo treatments by Wednesday :T

Boys have been as good as gold today which has meant I could get a little rest. Then a friend turned up unexpectedly with a meal for me just to stick in the oven this evening, perfect timing :A

Got a pedometer from the Ts mag competition, thanks to the OP. Can't wait to be able to do a bit more exercise. Weighed myself this week and am the same as when I was 9 months pregnant The 16 steroid tablets a day can't be helping.

Also got CC statement today, complete with 800 extra points from BzzAgent :j

Oh, and about babies taking milk at different temperatures; we really struggled when I started the chemo as I obviously had to give up breastfeeding as it would go through the milk. DS hated the formula and didn't gain weight at all for a month as he'd hardly take any. He will take it fairly hot after it's first made but then won't have it lukewarm and will refuse it until it's cooled right down, fussy monkey Least he'll drink it without a screaming fit now though

Sorry, just realised what an essay I've written

Think DS1 has an ear infection Poor little boy said his ear hurt just before bed and only wanted Daddy to read 1 story - he normally has 3! He's just woken up crying and I feel so sorry for him.

Unfortunately DS1 won't take medicine. We normally manage to put it into a little yoghurt drink for him but he is too sleepy to drink it. Think we might be off to the doctors in the morning. Got to go he's crying again

gently pinch his nose and he will open and swollow the medicen and go back to sleep;)

Wanted to say a big thanks to the person who mentioned about the RTC cereal in sada :T. Just been in to our little ex-Netto to do another 2 muller shops and saw 2 full end sections full of it. Special K Red Berry 500g was £1, Kelloggs Bran Flakes 500g was 57p, Kelloggs Fruit n Fibre 500g Oatibix 550g was £1.08. There was a whole heap of others, children's cereals and yogurty flakes which were all about 75p - £1.

Edit, forgot to say the Alpen Light Apple and Sultana cereal bars were marked up on RTC shelves as 63p, well I had to use my 50p off coupon - 13p I paid - result, and I even had the cheek to pick the ones with the 50p off flashed boxes :rotfl:

Ooo, fab - I can go that way to work in the morning, only a slight detour - Did you leave any Fruit n Fibre
