I have 2 pieces of good news from Niall today.
1. We are postponing round 6 to next week due to my hands and mouth not having recovered sufficiently from the Cisplatin to proceed. This is because without sufficient recovery between rounds permanent nerve damage can be done. So it is treated fairly seriously. No surprise there.
2. The very good news is that because I have managed somehow to stay on a relatively high dose of the chemo drugs, in particular Cisplatin, round 6 is to be my last of the chemo treatments. WOOHOO!!. I will remain on the Herceptin for as long as it continues to due the job. It has almost no (they won't ever say "no side effects" these days) side effects so no problems.
I will have a CT scan will round 6 is completed and hopefully it will show everything is under control.
