UNDERSTAND. FOLLOW. FIGHT BACK.
THE ROAD AHEAD
CYCLE 1
Apr 20 – May 10
Most manageable. Body encountering chemo with full reserves.
CYCLE 2
May 11 – May 31
Fatigue building. Hair likely gone. AFP test gives the first real signal.
CYCLE 3
Jun 1 – Jun 21
Often the hardest emotionally and physically. Messages and visits mean the most here.
CYCLE 4
Jun 22 – Jul 12
Hardest physically, but every day has a countdown.
SURGERY
Jul 28 – Sep 30
Major chest surgery to remove whatever remains of the tumour, followed by recovery and monitoring.
