I apologise for the delayed status report. I wasn’t feeling too bad yesterday morning and afternoon, so I left blogging until the evening. Unfortunately my back got a lot worse so that by then I didn’t feel up to doing anything at all. In fact, the whole of the week has been dominated by my […]
I’ve had quite a boring and dull week this week, although it definitely improved as it wore on. It started badly with me experiencing a temperature spike and being taken into hospital. They found nothing too alarming, which was ecouraging, so they sent me home again with instructions to Gillian to keep a sharp eye […]
I think the kindest description for this week is that it has been rough but with some good points. There was the terrible uncertainty of when, and sometimes even whether cycle 4 would ever start.

This evening marks the half-way point in the first three cycles of chemotherapy, or putting it another way I’m a quarter of the way through the entire chemotherapy treatment. That feels like a little bit of a milestone, although no physical event marks it. I’ve resumed one of my projects, and am half-way through the […]
This last week has gone extremely well. I have been cooking almost all our meals, and have even been able to cook what I think of as normal food. That includes all the sorts of food that were totally off limits three weeks ago. For example, yesterday we went out to one of our favourite […]
