May should have had her final lot of chemo yesterday (Friday) but her onco wanted to delay it until next Friday to give her body a bit longer to recover from the last lot. She's still peeling everywhere.

The scan showed that the tumour has shrunk though not disappeared. The hope is that it will now stay dormant.

I hope so too, May. Very much. And I hope that, once the chemo is over, you'll start to 'grow a new skin'. I know you don't believe it but you are one very inspiring lady. Thank you.
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Thanks for the update on May, Sticky. It sounds as though the news is good and May can continue with her recovery once the final treatment is over. Will be thinking about her and sending lots of very gentle ((()))) Beryl

    Her quiet courage is an inspiration.

    I wish you well, May, you are undergoing a true trial at the moment but hopefully the reward is within reach. ((((())))) DD

    Thank you so much Sticky

    Sounds to be good news re that nasty tumour shrinking.

    I hope it will shrink even more and preferably go AWAY with the next lot of chemo.

    I have been thinking about you a lot so it's great to have an update.
