Why do we blog? Who is going to read the stuff we write anyway. And does it matter?
I don't get many replies to my blogs so I have no idea how many readers have read and passed on to the next thing. Just now I came across someone else's blog and it touched my heart. Different subject entirely but I felt I might have something to say. So I replied to the blog entry.
Yesterday was a good day, less pain, walking around the house without a crutch and doing more generally. Today not good at all. Pain back but in a slightly different place. Phoned the GP surgery for my latest PSA result and found it (the PSA) had doubled again. Due to see Dr Oncologist next week and so I wonder what he may have to offer this time. Decapeptyl injections obviously useless as they permitted my PSA to rise after stopping bicalutamide. How could a little liquid shot into a buttock once in 3 months possibly hold The Enemy in check? Switch on the magic rays?
Highlight of the day talking with some people I hadn't seen in ages, outside the village pharmacy. They asked after my crutches and I gave my standard reply "stress fracture of my pelvis". We moved on to othe things with lots of laughter. The dreaded C did not come up to cloud the day. I think this is the best way for me and leaves people free to talk with me about life and laughter.
Feel better for just blogging. If you haven't, try it!
