I ought to be asleep but apparently my brain thought better of that and decided lying awake thinking about the lymph nodes in my neck was infinitely more interesting. Radiotherapy starts in just under 6 hours so I ought to get some sleep but it's looking doubtful. People can survive, albeit in a really crazy hallucinating way without sleep for a fair while so I think I'm safe.
I'm hoping the lymph nodes in my neck haven't decided to get bigger because of the lymphoma and rather I've got...
Last blog entry: "what is remission?" So I'd better update.
Saw my onco today. PSA back up to 9.4, lowest 2.9 in April. Abiraterone running out of steam. Offered RT for pain in what the Transatlantics call the Butt. Onco says there was activity in the bone scan there, months ago and so he'll put me back in the microwave to see if that will help.

My heart aches like nothing else before,

I was there for him, every step of the way, right by his side. Right to his very last breath.
I found a lump at the beginning of May after I had some pain on the side of my left breast. I booked to see the doctor and she referred me but was pretty sure it was just a cyst (so was I). My appointment day arrived and saw a lovely Chinese doctor who asked me what changes I had noticed.

I am very Interested In medieval England and have traced my ancestry back 850yr's to a man known as sir Saluayne. he was a Templar knight. If cancer had human form I believe he would have addressed It thus,
MY FRIEND'S WE HAVE BEEN INVADED BY AN ENEMY THAT TAKE'S NO PRISONER'S SO THEREFORE WILL SHOW US LITTLE MERCY. WE WHO SUFFER IT MUST BE THE SAME. WE MUST FIGHT WITH ALL OUR STRENGTH AND USE WHATEVER MEAN'S WE HAVE. SOMETIME'S DURING THIS BATTLE WE WILL SUFFER SETBACK'S AND INDIGNITIES. THIS...
Today I was looking at my stomach scar and decided that the scabs seems a bit too uniform so had a closer look and realised that they were little stitches still in there. I texted my nurses who said I could pop over and have them popped out. Only half came out and on investigation she said that they were supposed to be dissolving sutures but they don't look like they are going anywhere to me!
I'm still applying the dermatix cream on all the scars. She also suggested that I massage my neck to...
