This week has been a little difficult.  Henry has not been feeling well after chemo.  On Saturday we went for a walk and after 30 minutes since we left home Henry started to feel light-headed so we had to make our way back (to safety).  He spend the rest of the day lying down cuddled up to a hot water bottle. Since Friday he has been feeling unwell, and this "funny" sensation in his hands is a constant reminder that he is ill.  Only the fact of not being able to forget that you are very ill can be enough to exhaust anyone.  Chemo has not marked Henry physically but inside his body it is obviously taking its toll.

Henry went to his routine appointment with the Oncologist.  This time he saw a different one.  According to her (the Oncologist)  the CT scan does not show significant changes. The fluid around the lung is gone but the tumor is still there.

I cannot say how frustrating it was to hear this, mainly because Henry's Oncologist said three weeks ago that Henry´s X- ray was showing that the tumor had shrank.

We have agreed that no matter what the doctors say, we will keep fighting and keeping our selves positive but really, it has got to us.  It is confusing to hear one thing during one appointment and a different thing in another appointment.  Because the information comes from different Oncologists you cannot really query why the information varies. But obviously both Oncologists are in the same team... so I really don´t understand.

The good news are that the tumour has not spread.  That is what we have been told in the latest appointment....

Henry got his last cycle of chemo on the 2nd of May.  Now he won´t be seen by Doctors for two months.
