Another hospital trip for Kaz
Today we had a trip to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, for Kaz to have a bone scan. First she had an injection, radioactive apparently. Similar dosage to having an x-ray. Then we had 3 hours to wander around Norwich while the injection did it’s stuff and prepared to highlight her bones. When we returned to the hospital, the actual bone scan took about 30 minutes.
In between the trips to the hospital, David bought himself a Jackson Flying V electric guitar (£180), that’s all his birthday money gone and some pocket money in advance. So both he and Steven both have 3 guitars (2 electrics and an acoustic) each now.
The journey begins…
Today Kaz had her first Chemotherapy (FEC) treatment. The first couple of drugs are administered by the nurse, time passes quite quickly chatting to her. The last one is 30 minutes via a pump, so it’s time for reading then.
As you’d expect the staff in the Unit are great and are a big help with the ordeal. In fact, although I didn’t have the treatment, I could see it wasn’t too bad for her. Everything is explained very well. Here’s hoping the next couple of weeks aren’t too bad and the necessary evil of the treatment is bareable.
David is 15 today and…
Our youngest son, David, is 15 today.
The day is marred by having to attend the Cancer treatment clinic to learn about the first part of Kaz’s course of treatment. Her first Chemotherapy will begin next Wednesday. She’s hoping to still go out to dinner with her friends from the hospital that evening. And I’m sure she will too.
Some good news at last
Kaz’s CT Scan is described as ‘good’ by the doctor. What a relief.
CT Scan and even more worry
Today we attended hospital again, this time for Kaz to have a CT Scan. We both know this is to find out if the cancer is anywhere else in her body, although neither of us mentions it.
Confirmed
Today, our fears were confirmed, Kaz has Breast Cancer. Stunned.
