Oncologist appointment and moving house update

Well moved house, all went reasonably well, the removalists turned up and they were about 150 years old combined age, their were two of them. I thought oh no this is going to take all day!! the oldest guy who had to be at least 75 was carrying heavy stuff and his little skinny legs were shaking, it was scarily amusing, but they ended up doing a really good and quick job, husband was helping them as well so that sped it all up a bit

anyhow new house is nice enough, but no fans!!! cant believe it, i swore there were fans, so anyhow going to request them and see how i go, very hot upstairs already and its nowhere near summer yet!!

Went to surgeon and oncologist today, surgeon was happy with everything and i will see him again now in 6 mths, although he did say to his doctor re my cancer free results on second surgery that they were all the glass is half empty thinking on it, i thought yeah thanks for the positive thinking guys!!! So i am glad their thoughts didnt come true!

The oncologist mainly concentrated on me going on the clinical trial, i had a bit of a banter with someone online before appointment and rang husband and after talking to them and asking more i decided to agree to it, so i had to have an ECG and blood work done and they will now put me into a computer and it will decide whether i get the drug or not, no placebo in this trial, so i will know if i am getting it or not.
If i get drug then i have it for 12mths, if not i just get monitored for 6 years, as i will if getting drug as well

Chemo starts on 30th, so sucks to have a date, and so soon!!! but i knew it was coming i guess. They went over the side effects and stuff, it is nearly identical to a pregnancy its not funny!! she even said they done a study and found that women who had bad morning sickness seemed to get more sick with chemo treatments, so fingers crossed i go ok, i never got morning sickness with any of my kids, but as with everything no garantee's

anyhow just have to hope i go ok and don't get too sick from it all, going to suck regardless, i just hope the first one isnt too bad because it will be horrid to go back the second time and do it all again knowing its going to be bad!

otherwise not much else happening really, been doing ok mind wise, been busy with the house move etc helped to keep my mind off things and just generally trying to keep busy
