Update: April 2025
2025 04 07
Some of you have asked whether my radiotherapy has started …
not yet! I had the planning scan on 28 March, and heard at the end of last week
that the treatment is scheduled to start late tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon, for
8 to 10 treatment sessions. If it’s 8, it will finish on 17 April; otherwise on
23 April. My next CT scan is planned for 5 May.
The sciatica-type pain is still with me, but it’s much less and only intermittent; I’ve been doing some seated dancing (and the tiniest amount of gentle dancing) at Saturday circle dancing.
Last Thursday, I finally acknowledged that the Letrozole had crept up to being a BIG EISH for me – as bad as it was three years ago. So I stopped taking it. Continuing with my life’s journey has started to feel like a good thing to do, again, instead of the grey-blanket feeling that had become the price to pay for potentially holding some nasty developments at bay. (The leg cramps, a side effect of both Tamoxifen and Letrozole, have already almost completely vanished.) The moment I stopped taking that EISH, I let Garth know that we need to make our next decisions: hopefully I’ll be able to find out more when I’m there tomorrow.
There was a rainbow for a few minutes this afternoon – the first one in absolute ages. (Photo: origami that Gail did, five years ago, with a rainbow from one of our suncatchers.)
Thanks, as always, for all the love and support. It means the world to me.
Lots of love 🌹❤️
