"Nice" chemo

I had my appointment with my oncologist, Dr R today, so now am a little clearer on everything. My main tumour actually looks smaller than last time. The problem is that there are two small groups of cancer cells away from the tumour, so if they operated, it would be hard to remove all three bits without causing damage. Hopefully chemo can blast the whole lot! I am going to be put on what Dr R described as a "nicer"chemo. Rather than intra-veinous via lines and needles, mine is a tablet form called temozolomide. I will take it for five days once a month. It has milder side effects than other forms, I will probably be tired, but severe sickness is rare, and it's very unlikely that I will lose my hair- result! Feeling quite positive at the moment, just waiting for the green light to get started!
