Yesterday I had a phone call with my doctor. They haven't found a donor yet, but we have some more time, he said. The effects of radiotherapy can last for two months, so in normal circumstances they don't start another therapy during this period. Which means, indeed, I will be waiting for another two months. Unless something would happen before.
More waiting... But in the mean time, I feel fine!
Sorry for the long silence but there was not so much to tell. Friday I had my last radiation. The lump is not gone yet but they say it probably will be in a few weeks. At least it's a lot smaller. Except for the pain in my throat and some irritation of the skin, I'm very relieved about this therapy. Compared to the last chemo I had, this is peanuts! :) So, now we have to wait for the lump to dissapear and for a donor to come around... I suppose they will also try to take my own stem cells again very soon.
Last weekend, me and my girlfriend went to the Belgian coast. Ok, it's not the same as two weeks in southern France, but we had a really good time! It was the only holiday for me this summer! (how pathetic!:))
As long as the lump is shrinking, I am fine. I'm only starting to get a bit nervous because the stem cell transplantation is getting near.
