6th June - Day 17

Hi all, was greeted by a grumpy Jon this afternoon, He had nothing to eat today as they thought his Heart Echo was going to be at Midday, then it was going to be one o 'clock they finally came to get him at nearly three o'clock.

The wait was worth it though, they gave Jon the results straight away, he has no infection around his heart area, and no calcium deposits showed up today. This was a relief, so they now think the headaches hes getting every morning only is due to the blood cell injection too boost his blood count up.

Jon finally got to eat at 5.30pm but only soup and crackers, his appetite keeps coming and going, hes ordered a better lunch tomorrow I checked!

We did have some good news though from Jon having a CT scan recently to check that there were no bleeds causing the headaches, there have been no bleeds and the results from the scan show the lymphoma is responding to treatment, they dont normally scan to check at this early stage, but through having the scan for other reasons its shown to have responded.

But....

Learn to hate that word, but.... to totally clear the lymphoma it may take more than the 2 planned treatments (doctor mentioned 3 - 4). Jon's looking positive on it though and hopes that he can with positive thinking clear it by the end of the second bout.
