Well, it is now 4 weeks since my last chemo, so I am offically in remission. We have been going away on the 2nd week after chemo, as soon as I was feeling fit enough,and coming back in time for bloods and my next lot ot treatment. We stayed away longer this time, and I came back feeling better, and didn't have to go to the hospital, so now I've got to find something to fill the time when I'm well. I actually went out gardening with my husband properly today, instead of watching him and pottering about a little bit. After 15 months of chemo it seems strange to have enough strength to do it. We then went into town shopping this afternoon.... something we would never normally do on a Saturday afternoon in the old days. I think I can get used to living like this. I hope it lasts a long long time.
