more hospital visits!!

Today I am back at Weston Park for blood tests- checking my liver function and cell count are normal before I get more chemo tomorrow.
Tomorrow is a mammoth day! In the morning I am having another biopsy taken, and a clip inserted into the tumour. Apparently the chemo can be so effective that the tumour shrinks to the point it cannot be found in surgery- and they then excise using the clip as a marker. Sometimes, even pathology cannot find any evidence of the tumour- I think that would be a great prayer!!! After the clip is in situ I will need another mammagram to check it is in the centre of the lump and then I think they will allow me lunch!
At 1pm I trot over to the Weston Park for chemo number two.
They are hopefully giving me different medication to come home with to combat the nausea and vomiting, so the whole experience may be more pleasant than last time- which would be fantastic. However I am still quite anxious about the day and would appreciate prayers for courage and peace.
