Not blogged for a while so I thought i'd better do an update. Ian had a blood transfusion last week as his bloods were 'off' They have taken him off the Cysplatin and Zeloda as it is not suiting him, though he had it in 2006 without too much problem, (if you ignore the fact that he ended up ventilated in ITU, but that was a minor blip!). He is now on Carboplatin. It doesn't seem to be bothering him too much, swollen feet but nothing much else. So, he seems to have plateau'd out at the moment. Since he stopped working he has taken over doing the housework, so I have my own househusband now! It's great to come home from work for a change and find the washing done and the house tidy, but I must admit I still won't let him near the iron LOL. The McMillan nurse sent a man round from welfare rights so our finances are more or less sorted out now. We don't live a high maintainance lifestyle so we have enough to live on. We are living quite a contented life now. It's just a pity that it is ever so slightly tinged with sadness. The picture is of Ian and his lovely dad who has done so much to support us, on the narrowboat. It was taken this summer on a trip up the Macclesfield canal. It's the first time i've added a picture so I hope i've sized it right.
