I’ve had a few messages asking how I’m getting on so I thought I’d post a little update.
I’m pleased to say I’m doing very well. I’m still exploring every alternative therapy I can get my hands on. Don’t know if any of them are working or not but I’m feeling increasingly better as each week goes on. The saliva production is definitely increased. I managed to eat a whole slice of carrot cake last week without the assistance of any ice cream or water.
My energy levels are much better too. I am regularly walking two miles a day and I have also made a start on the garden. I‘ve been out there most afternoons recently but today it is chucking it down with rain so I have had to stay indoors. I had a lovely garden before my cancer. People would stop and say nice things and ask for cuttings. Now they frown and tell me I’ve got my work cut out. I know I have but I like a challenge. I’ve apparently got a serious slug problem. I’m told I need to sink yogurt pots full of beer into my borders, but it seems a terrible waste of beer and I can’t bear to drown a living creature. So they continue to munch their way through the primrose leaves.
I am getting on very well with my Kindle, just downloaded my 100th book. I’ve done classics and chick lit and I’m now onto murder mysteries. I’ve got some new music too. One of my friends has persuaded me that I have misjudged Nick Drake. She is quite right. So I apologise for saying his music is depressing. I’m currently listening to “Bryter Layter” and I’m really getting into it.
Most importantly I am still enjoying tennis. It’s been a great season so far and I am off now as Murray is just about to come out on court in Miami.
