Hello, I am back and I HAVE FINISHED ALL 6 CYCLES OF CHEMOTHERAPY!!!!!! I was home on 14th Jan, just in time to celebrate my mom's birthday on the 16th. I was fit enough to head out for her birthday dinner at Dempsey on the 2nd day post-chemo, so I was quite happy because usually the first 2 days I'll be having body pains (muscle/bone aches).
Initially I thought my PICC line would be removed right away after my chemotherapy ended, but the doctor said he'll only take it off when I meet him on the 29th... just in case. My PET scan will be on the 26th — this scan will check if there's any more cancer-active cells left after these 6 rounds (TOLONG please no more ah).
The doctor says the results will be classified using a scale of 1 to 5-
- 1 and 2: confirmed cancer-free
- 3: unconfirmed, and a second scan will be needed 3 months later
- 4 and 5: still some cancer cells left, and the oncology team will need to discuss with the radiologists for potential radiotherapy
Praying really hard that it'll be a green light from the doctors on the 29th! *crossing fingers and toes*
