So, instantly drawing from ^that Jack, I've just put less sugar in my coffee. Thanks

Every lent I go sugar free. The first couple of weeks are like going through a detox.

I always avoid artificial sweeteners. They're a chemical shit storm

I'm not touching artificial sweeteners either for the same reason as you and they taste awful .

Well into the 3rd session of treatment now , was pretty rough on sunday and monday but feeling better today , glad I only have one more round of chemo after this one , it's not pleasant .

Keep fighting Jack

Good to read that they are cracking on with your treatment Jack, and that you're coping with it.

I swear, you can almost taste the manufacturing process right there in your cup.... it's like someone put three drops of bleach into your drink.

didnt your previous president recommend that ?

Yes, but that's not bleach for your coffee, that bleach is just for killing Covid.
Intravenously.
With bleach.

blood test tomorrow and consultant on thursday , get the scan results see if things are working as expected if all ok start the final chemo session on friday .

Good luck mate, fingers crossed for positive news.

How are you feeling after the last round of treatment?

I feel pretty rough this week , I reckon I've got a chest infection or a cold , it's on the way out so am starting to feel a bit better , hopefully be gone before I'm due to start treatment again , overall chemo has been far easier than I was expecting , it hasn't been pleasant but I've had plenty of support and think I've managed it pretty well , stayed as active as I could and tried to keep my diet regular even when eating is the last thing I want to do . I am reasonably hopeful that the scan results will be positive .

Thanks for the update

When is the next scan?

I get a full body scan after I've completed the last round of chemo , then we move onto radiotherapy targeting any other areas that show infection and my head , mainly as a precautionary measure unless the cancer is already present .

Fingers crossed for some positive news buddy.

chest infection confirmed, on antibiotics for a week , and final chemo treatment also delayed by a week .
scan results show a slight reduction in the mass in the lung , left adrenal gland very swollen but apparently a good thing as the centre of the tumour is necrotic . Lost a little weight but understandable because of the chest infection .
feeling weak and very tired hopefully an extra week to recover will get me back on track .

Thanks for the update Jack, hope your chest infection clears swiftly mate.

I'm not surprised after the regime you've been through in the last few months, you must be weaker with all that going on.

I hope you can get some rest and feel better - good news about the reduction.

Keep fighting mate.

Keep it going, Jack.

Can’t begin to understand how tired you must feel but we are with you all the way, mate.

Currently sat in the hospital waiting for the first of my IV bags to arrive from the pharmacy, hopefully this is the final round of chemotherapy, hoping to recover soon enough to be able to enjoy the festive season. Full scan is scheduled for four weeks time so I should get the results of that just in time for Christmas.
