I managed to catch LY at 8.15 this morning at NCC before she went in for her 6th dose of RT. She is still very weak and her eyes were teary - a reaction to her treatment. She also looked very drowsy.
She said when she saw her onco on Monday, he had told her that the RT is causing her tumours to swell thus causing her much discomfort. I met M later and conferred with her, and M thinks that it could be an expected reaction which is why the onco allowed LY to continue with her RT.
AJ was there for her appointment with onco and chemo and I got her to talk to LY and her son. LY's son seemed quite keen about getting his mum to try ayurvedic medicine, as LY had said that she was not going for anymore chemo should she get another relapse.
Next, went with AJ to see her onco with intention to request for copies of her reports and tests results. Must admit I didn't like the attitude of AJ's onco - very unfriendly and unapproachable. He was asking AJ if she had any cough, etc, but I don't recall hearing him ask if she had any questions to ask of him, and it also looked like he was not about to give us any chance to ask, so I asked his nurse for the copies instead. Can understand why AJ was so reluctant to ask for the copies herself.
After that, went with M to look for HH. We found her in the Morning Glory suite of the ATU, waiting to have her chemo. HH looked okay and steady.
