I have not been here for a few week's been very busy redecorating the living room and passage. It helped to take my mind off of thing's. and It has helped. It was therapy. I feel so much better. no pain. trying to get back Into my yoga Is a little hard but I will get there. I have an appointment on Thursday 19/6. to see the radiologist and two week's after that another to see my oncologist. I'm feeling a little nervous you never know what they are going to say or do. I feel so well. I don't relish...
My readers (if there are any) may be relieved to hear that the muse of poetry has abruptly departed, so what I have to impart today is in prose. But it's not prosaic - it's good news. I had a CT scan last week to assess how well the last six months of chemo had worked on my pesky little lymph nodes, and on Thursday my husband and I went up to the Christie to see my lovely consultant, Dr Saunders.

I just wiped my whole blog out. I am no longer going to google, read forums or blogs, inform myself about cancer, each journey is so unique. I frightened myself silly by reading too much information, I m just going to trust in my health care providers.

It's probably a little early to declare today a good day but it's warm and sunny and that's enough to make a ginger smiley (providing there is enough suncream) even though I managed to fall over twice on my walk to another episode of endless appointments with health care professionals. More tests. On the bright side that all went without a hitch. On the not so bright side I've now fallen down 3 times in 2 days and am the proud owner of 6 massive bruises.
The falling over is nothing...
Today is another good day. This whole aiming for more good things is going splendidly, even if I am only two days in!
I had a minor moment of panic last night which was bought on by a combination of me (I really need to stop reading my lymphoma books; they're not as reassuring as they want to be) and anger at America (not like I over-reacted at all) because of their need to make a film about teenage love in a cancer group.
