This update covers Week 4 of my initial treatment, and also where things are at now.
Week 4
This was planned as a "normal" week i.e. radio each day and chemo on the Wednesday - and everything went to plan! No random operations.....no sudden blood transfusions......nothing. I almost feel like I should apologise!!!
Must admit though, it was good to have a lighter week, especially as tiredness is starting to feature…
This update covers the second part of week 2 and all week 3 of my 4-week initial treatment period.

This may turn into a lengthy (and somewhat heartfelt) ramble..
Throughout my life I've always intended to give blood. It's something that's always appealed - and it's so easy to do. Just sit there and let the blood donation team take what they need. [And have a brew afterwards!]
