Well, it’s been 24 hours and so far so good. Apart from a mega headache, eyes that are sensitive to the light and being slightly away with the fairies, I would say she’s doing very well considering. Mind you, I keep watching her to see if she’s going to sprout wings or something unusual because you just know it’s going to catch up with her sooner or later. We all switched beds last night just in case Sam got bad in the night. Sam went into Harry’s bed, Harry went into Rosie’s bed and Rosie and Charlie came in with me. The only one who escaped the shuffle was Maddy (and funnily enough she’s the one who slept in the latest) .
Sam’s been told that her taste buds may change during her treatment so she may not enjoy her favourite foods anymore (I assume they go back to normal afterwards) . She’s also been advised, if possible, to avoid any meals that she does enjoy. This is because in the past, certain patients who have developed the sickness side effect have done so when they’ve been eating their favourite meal. Of course, once they’ve had the pleasure of experiencing this (whilst enjoying their favourite chinese, steak or Indian) they’ve realised they can never eat it again. This is because, psychologically, it’s forever associated with throwing up. Which is nice.
This afternoon we managed to get to the CT scan without a hitch (so that wasn’t as bad as we thought it was going to be). When we got there it was a quick in and out so thankfully there wasn’t too much waiting around. Unfortunately, the waiting part is for the results and we’re not sure when we’re going to get those. We’ll call the hospital on Monday so that we can make an appointment for sooner rather than later. Hopefully we can get a positive result at last. Sam is worried that they’re going to deliver bad news and say it’s located somewhere else, but that’s only natural when you’ve been kicked as many times as she has in the last 4 weeks. However, we have to and must remain positive. So, once again (without jinxing it), good news this time please Mr Scan. 😉
