the scar now bit blurry but hey well its finally here the last day of Chemo. we were all up at the crack of dawn well not really as daylight is 4.30 in QLD thanks to no Day light savings ARGH we got up at 5.30am and started getting ready to head into the hospital like any other day we have there, I let the girls sleep as they both had restless night and Miss Robyn slept all night in her own bed and still has not had a (BF) that's a record she has asked a few times though but I was busy as you will read
6.30 I woke Robyn got her dressed and gave her breaky then started getting Alex ready she was still asleep I put the Emla Cream on (numbing Cream) gave her anti nausea meds and Bartram meds then dressed her well shorts with her PJ top she didn't want to change so why upset her anymore than today does anyway. then we headed into Brisbane with peak hr traffic in our midst's. On arrival weight temp etc was taken she had lost weight again this week down to 18.85kg but almost 110cm so not bad :) she was cold so we got a blanket which she stayed under on mummies lap til they called her in to access her port and take bloods she was very vocal about not wanting this like normal but no fight. they took her temp again as she was still saying cold but still normal. they put a fluid bag on just in case ?? no idea why though . then we went back into the waiting area, normally Alex is playing in the cubby house or with the toys but today she sat on my lap watching TV and cuddled mummy not my normal energetic princess!!!
we had a wait to see our Dr as he is the head Oncologist (we decided to use our Private health as it helps the hospital and we are under one Dr). he to was a little concerned with Miss Alex being not up &and running around but said the same watch her but do not celebrate to early, respect the last 2 weeks of chemo which we are. Her bloods came back low but they are still on the drop from last week he gave us more scripts etc and a form to book in for the CT next week or as early as possible so we now have a CT with contrast Oral and IV on Wednesday the 2nd Dec to look forward too :-/ then back out to the waiting room Miss Robyn in the pram and Alex back on my lap Hubby goes to make appointment and fill scripts while we can. while he is gone we go in for the Chemo its not a big one 25 min total with 2 flushes so we had just finished the chemo and starting the 1st flush when Hubby gets back. Alex falls asleep on my lap doing this she only woke when they de needled her and then threw up :( they took her temp again and also reminded us to watch her as this is not normal for Alex (Hello we know and I am stressing) so home we go
Alex is now asleep in the lounge again 2 naps in one day God I hope she is OK I hate not knowing and every week is different :( but we now have just over a week before we go back to see the Dr and have bloods and a CT done then it will stretch to 6 weeks with Port access and scans with CT's occasionally next week is the BASE LINE to be sure the nodes are not starting to grow again .. OK I am tearing up but should be relaxing
sleeping now temp still normal 
Gift from Hubby and girls for me "Gothic goblet" ♥ I feel the love
Dr Hassall has said the official end of treatment date is mid dec not sure why but may be due to last scans etc and then we do go ont 6 weekly visits too :)
