Guinea pig

I saw my consultant last week and he told me he didn’t know what to do with me because he hadn’t had a case like mine before where someone seems so well after repeated hospitalisation for a severe infection. So he gave me the option of trying chemo again, as I hadn’t been on it for long enough the last time to see if it was having an effect. I said yes because I’d rather be trying something than nothing. So I have become a bit of guinea pig, remaining on the long term antibiotics as well as trying the chemo again. 
Nothing will change prognosis-wise as they have no idea what will happen. But I had my chemo yesterday, and other than no sleep due to severe stomach spasms, I haven’t had any ill effects so far.
They are all doing the best they can and throwing everything they can at me, which is all I can ask for.
Bring on some good days.
