We were left waiting for an hour and a half in the cancer unit. It is the most depressing place ever. Really could use some music, a tv anything to distract you from the worry of cancer. We saw Darrens specialist who has said Darrens liver results are still not great (results from thursday) but it has got smaller which is good. Its hoped the liver problem is caused by the first lot of chemo and not the cancer and should settle now his on new chemo. His spleen has got smaller which is great but because it is huge it will take 3-4 months to be back to normal size.
Blood results for today werent back but had a promise to call us this evening, but still waiting so dont know how well the new chemo is doing just yet. If we dont hear tonight I will call nurse in the morning.
Good news is they have caught the cancer at 1st stage so he has a good chance of managing the cancer with drugs for the rest of his life, as long as he responds to the drugs and doesnt have a relapse.
Its odd, the results have good points and bad but we are looking as them as positive so we can carry on moving forward.
Darrens new chemo is making him grumpy and its so hard not to say anything, so i normally snap back. Im trying not too but he is going to be on these drugs forever, so better get sorted asap.
Its odd, for some reason I keep thinking about the fact we werent given any chance to freeze Darrens sperm before he started Chemo, and that our family is now complete. We werent planning anymore children anyways but feels unfair that the choice wasnt our in the end!
