Navigating the Ups and Downs of Chemotherapy: Session 11
Today brought some much-needed good news—Session 11 of my chemotherapy went ahead as planned. Thankfully, there was no need for the dreaded four-hour potassium IV trip. All my blood tests returned normal results, and my blood pressure and temperature were stable. This was a huge relief, as it means I’m still on track to complete my treatment by the 23rd of June, provided I can maintain my health.
After this session, I’ll be taking a break from chemotherapy. The length of this break will depend on the results of my upcoming scans, as you can imagine. I was feeling quite optimistic about the path ahead.
However, life has a way of throwing curveballs. Just as I was celebrating, I experienced a total body shutdown, accompanied by severe sickness. I felt utterly wiped out. The medical team has been investigating the cause of these sudden symptoms all afternoon. As I write this, I’m still under observation, and there’s a possibility I may be admitted if they uncover anything concerning, especially given the number of operations I’ve undergone.
As a result, my chemotherapy session has been paused—so no more Lady P for the time being. Right now, I’m feeling completely drained.
It’s a rollercoaster of emotions, but I’m determined to keep pushing through. One step at a time.
