Ding Ding!


Ringing the bell was something that started in the children’s ward where they’d get to ring a bell to celebrate finishing their last chemo. I don’t know if I get a real bell or just a symbolic bell but either way, I just had confirmation that I have almost had my last chemo!  Ding Ding!

It’s not over quite yet as there are at least 2 intrathecal chemotherapy injections in my spine yet but I don’t really count them because they’re over and done with quickly and there haven’t been any side effects previously.  Also, the effects of the ‘real’ chemo last time took 3 weeks to clear and are only just (painfully) coming into effect. The doctor was sure it would be very much quicker this time due to the nature of the chemo being CODOX, not IVAC. As always, I'm crossing my fingers he's right.
