The normal pain killer schedule for Husband is as follows:
- 8.30am, 1xUltracet, 1x400mg Brufen
- 4.30pm, 1xUltracet, 1x200mg Brufen
- 10.30pm, 1xUltracet, 1x600mg Brufen
Yesterday, for the first time in a LOOOOONG time, he deliberately decided NOT to take the afternoon pain killer.... and HE MADE IT TO 10.30pm. Yes, he was still hurting - I could see it in his face - but he made it! I think that, in the last two months, the pain has been ever so slowly reducing on a daily basis - and all the walking and moving that he has been doing have helped too. It is definitely going to take a lot more time before it is gone, but at least we know we are moving in the right direction :-D
Tomorrow is chemo #4. Will leave home early, target to get to Melaka before 9am - as the oncologist wants him to do a CT Scan again, not just the usual blood test. Please keep fingers crossed that the CT Scan does not show anything worse than the scan taken one month ago. It is (I think) still too early to see positive results, but at this stage it would be positive just to NOT see anything worse than the situation of one month ago.
Will update again after we get back from Melaka tomorrow. Till then, stay safe, stay HEALTHY.
