it is the last week of steves treatment and we are having mixed feelings about it, a lot of people have said i bet you will be glad once treatment has finished and at the begining of the 6 weeks i thought that would be true.
however now the end of treatment is close i am now worrying and this might sound odd.
whilst i can take steve to hospital everyday ( i feel that i am doing something)
we have the nurses and drs around to deal with any problems and stuff.
we have other people at hospital fighting the same stuff we will miss them.
at the moment we feel proactive as we are actively doing the treatment once this is finished then the tumour will just continue to grow unchecked and there is nothing we can do about it.
we will have to wait 4 weeks after the end of treatment to see if tumour has shrunk or stayed the same, we don't get another shot at the treatment so it needs to have worked in order to buy steve more time.
after the scan we wait 2 weeks for the results depending on the results steve may get more chemo 1 week in 4 this will take place around christmas

the whole week hasn't been shitty it's just that the shittiness of the shit stuff sometimes gets in the way of the other stuff, if that makes any kind of sense?
