Hello Penny, sounds like you have come through radiation and chemo well. So now it's just waiting for the post treatment PET. Try not to worry, it will be what it is and nothing you can do now will change that. Trust in your team.
I am appalled that you were made redundant through this. Do you have any recourse? Kris too was made redundant,- 6 months post chemo/rads. He is retired now as it is impossible to work without speech.
How exciting to have a holiday to look forward to. You will have a fabulous time . Kris and I will be travelling to Vietnam in September. Kris is a bit apprehensive but I feel that there is nothing that we couldn't cope with. And of course, life is for living.
