Well, I did think I'd need it early, but the cancer nurse has now arranged an early CT scan for me in view of my raised CA125 results before my last treatment last week. I had the full course anyway, so naturally my body is pumped full of drugs at the moment, and hopefully they have done something short term, but by Friday whatever the problem is had better be on show, or else it will be a waste of time. It took a…
Didn't I say my holidays are a disaster. Just come back from my hospital appointment for blood results ready for last session of chemo next week. Last month (the day I came back) the CA125 had gone up 12, this month it has gone up to 617, and that is on treatment!

We've taken off in the van for the weekend…
How time flies when you are having daily treatments!
I'm glad to say that when the phone call did come from the Gp (the house was in chaos and my son was on the phone from his holiday in Florida, my next door neighbour had come to see my grandchildren and daughter who had come down for half term) it was to say that the Xray showed a minor chest infection, so she's put me on a course of antibiotics. Hopefully…
