A Diary Of A Mesowarrior Living With #Mesothelioma #asbestos — The Keytruda Regime Has Started lets fight the battle again

 

 

 

 

This has been a medical week as Monday we travelled to the Royal Marsden for my CT Scan.

I was seen by the Doctor and she agreed I passed all the tests to start the MK3475-28 again.

So today we got up at 5 and sorted the dog out a bit of a tidy up and off on the roads that were so crowded with lorries. We only have a small car and we got hemmed in at times.

But we arrived at 8am and booked in then waited to be called.

I had all my vital signs done, blood pressure, temperature and then back to the waiting room to wait.

The doctor called me in and explained everything.

The marker tumour is 1.5cm have grown from 1.4 since April so it has been caught when very small.

Waiting back in the waiting room we talked to all the lovely patients as they came in for treatment. My dear friend Joanne came to see me even though it was her day off.

At 11.45 we decided to go to the restaurant and have lunch. The Doctor stopped me that had has my BI-Op and is doing many tests on it. I hadn’t realised that they were finding out what the tumour is made up of and the DNA, you see they want to know is it the same as the tumours I had before Immunotherapy or is it different.

Why my Immunotherapy turning the Immune system on and made my T cells, Killer cells so banishing my Mesothelioma that worked so why didnt they kill these new cancer cells, how did they manage to get by. How did they disguise themselves, have they a different DNA. All very scientific, all exciting stuff.

So off in the lift to get something to eat and to take in all we had learnt today.

Getting the food everything was so familiar nothing seems to have changed, but I certainly have in the two years away.

On the return to the day ward I had a great welcoming party lots of laughing and talking to so many nurses that remembered me, it was time to be cannulated  as the drug would be up at 1pm.

It came up at 2.30pm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rex and I had a laugh as this was the first one of 24 infusions.

The half and hour passed quickly and I was soon on my way home again. The roads were very good and we soon got home to a nice cup of tea.
