I had a meeting with my oncologist on Friday (8th March), this is the first meeting since starting BEACOPP. He was happy with how much the lump has gone down and really had to feel to find the lymph nodes. He said one was the size of a pea and the other a small marble. He also said its the smallest he has seen it since I started seeing him! We wont know how well the treatment is actually working until I have more scans in roughly 6 weeks. But from looking at it and feeling it, i would say its definitely working a lot better then the ABVD was. We went through my levels, he said red blood was good, white blood cells and platelets where both a little low, but he thinks I should be okay to go ahead with chemo on wednesday. I have another blood test today, so he will double check that my levels are all normal.
I wasn't going to put up any photos of me with my head shaved, but I thought I would be brave and do it. After all, it is part of my journey! And i'll put one up of me in my wig too! My hair did start to grow back because I stopped treatment, but the last few days it has started to fall out again.
