Less than one minute read time.

After a bad patch, things are beginning to look up.  My pain control regime has settled down and all symptoms are a little better.  Secondary symptoms like constipation have responded to a gentle laxative for example.  The best of all was when my four adult children arrived from various corners of the earth to sort out the home arrangements here.

Two of the children were due to come to the UK on business anyway.  It just happened that their parents' crisis coincided with their planned visits.  The other two made arrangements to come at the same time.

There remains the problem of my pelvic pains, what is causing them and what further RT or antihormone or chemo I might have to alleviate them.  The info is there from all the scans I've had but it hasn't been effectively collated by the onco and uro I feel.  My next onco appointment is 6 December when I hope to get things sorted. They will have the latest PSA to hand to see which way things are going.

Cheerful today, hope it lasts!
