Day One Hundred and twenty four of cancer treatment:- Well that is it! After 124 days since my very first treatment for my Lymphoma today was officially my last day of treatment. No more being injected with chemicals that kill of most of my cells in my body. No more being zapped in the neck by a high dose beam of xrays. No more daily trips to London. And did I feel ecstatic? Not like I should have done. As feeling rough, and tired and in pain, made numbed that feeling a little. Luckily I didnt have to sit and wait for too long as was called in fairly quickly. Going into the room, I had a bit of a laugh with the radiographers. Telling them where all my markers for the equipment had to go etc. But then laying on the table it dawned on me that it was the last one, and this treatment journey has at last come to an end. And as I lay there this afternoon, I did actually get all emotional. As it has been a long journey with many ups and what it feels like, twice as many downs. by But that is now the end. I have a clinic appointment there in September. There was one downer for my trip, and that is to be told my after effects of this three weeks of treatment, will not peak for another couple of weeks. This means more pain in my mouth and throat, and as my voice has almost gone now. I cant seeing it lasting past the weekend. So a quiet weekend for the kids. I would just like to thank everyone who has physically helped me in all they can do. And especially everyone who has read this post, every day. I know you have said I have been an inspiration, but knowing people read this, has inspired me to get to the end. I know that having written this has saved a life already. As it made my dad go to the doctors for a lump, which means they caught his cancer very early. Had I not written this, his battle would not have started and may have ended up being too late. So this journey has all been worth it. Now to start another journey to help other Lymphoma sufferers. Where this journey will take me, I dont know. But no doubt I will keep you posted...........................
