Deb on the quayside at the old harbour, La Rochelle
Deb has completed her 10th cycle of chemotherapy. Two more to go before she gets some respite. Over the last month her problems with balance, concentration have continued. We have been on two holidays this month; to La Rochelle and Stockholm. Both of these have involved some walking and occasionally Deb found this very difficult. In addition, Deb has now developed an intermittent tremor in her right hand.
This time we saw Dr Sanghera and discussed the ongoing issues. He had said Deb's problems were not due to the tumours but had been caused by the effect of radiotherapy and other treatments on the brain. Deb's brain must be one of the most scanned in history. I asked Dr Sanghera if you could see on the scans any general changes to the brain. He said you could see some general shrinkage.
Debs blood test results were good and she was prescribed her next cycle of Temozolomide. Next appointment in one months time.
