Thank you for all the reassuring comments you added to my last post, even if I can't help but doubt I'd be hearing such compliments if I hadn't got leukaemia in the first place ;-).Anyway, it's been another decent time between posts, and once again that's due to FUN! I've been up to all sorts, … Continue reading Fun fun fun
So what do you do?
As you've probably spotted, my social life of late has been a bit more exciting than it was for the previous nine months or so... This has been wonderful, as I've tried to make the most of having decent blood counts for a change. It is very hard to be stuck in hospital, or sitting … Continue reading So what do you do?
Bring it on
I'm not a man to go around consolidating just once. Oh, no. Twice? Not me. Consolidation 3, here we go... Actually, I started this morning, having had good blood results again on Tuesday (I discovered that actually the normal level for haemoglobin is 13-17, and I'm about 11.6, but I was right that the other … Continue reading Bring it on
On to the past
Well, I've given you all plenty of time to read about last Thursday, so now I'll tell you about Wednesday and Tuesday, as promised.On Wednesday evening I went to Adam's, where I found not just Adam but also Rachael. We enjoyed a lovely meal courtesy of Adam's mother, and after lots of OMV chat (well, … Continue reading On to the past
Chillin’ at my homie
Five days and no blogging... I am sorry. I blame radiotherapy-induced lethargy (for the first day or two) and decent-blood-count-induced busyness (for the rest). I have been in the Big City, London! Having lovely blood counts (all within normal levels, I think... neutrophils: 2.6; WBC: 4.5; platelets: 230; haemoglobin: 11.6; I think) means I can … Continue reading Chillin’ at my homie
Auguri!
Happy birthday to you,Happy birthday to you,Happy birthday Papa Norton!Happy birthday to you.
Second time lucky
Now I really HAVE finished the radiotherapy, which is good, as that's another phase to almost cross off (it doesn't really finish until Wednesday, with my last intrathecal chemo of this phase), though it was actually a bit sad in one way: I'd started to get to know some of the radiographers a bit. But … Continue reading Second time lucky
And so it goes on
Tomorrow's my last day of cranial radiotherapy!Oh, no it isn't... Apparently I'm having 15 doses after all, not 12, so I'm still going until Friday.Hmph.
I r teh winner
This entertaining interlude of cranial radiotherapy has whizzed by so far, meaning that I have just three sessions remaining. Wow! Pow! I also have a couple of intrathecal (IT) chemotherapy doses to complete this phase, which will be on Wednesday and Wednesday.Yesterday, too, was Wednesday, and consequently saw me return to St George's, this time … Continue reading I r teh winner
Dances with flip-flops
On Sunday I went to London to see the OMV pilgrims newly returned from Lourdes, and it was wonderful to catch up with so many of them. Having missed the pilgrimage because of my treatment, they seemed to do their best to make up for it: I was overcome with love. It seems that 'out … Continue reading Dances with flip-flops
