Yet another day gone, yet another day closer to the dreaded treatments. Still not sure how I feel about it, after feeling very stressed and down yesterday I wasn't much better this morning. It didn't help that I had to see the hospital dentist today. Now, whats worse than going to the dentist? Going to the dentist when they are specifically looking to see if you need any kind of work done (no matter how small) and any reason to remove a few teeth. You see, the radiotherapy will reduce my saliva...
Prognosis 6-12 months.
Completed 4 rounds of chemo, said tumour has shrunk and not spread it has always been in her bones and little in liver. Her next review is mid June. I am emailing about her current state of health. Last week she was fine more energy etc, however this week has been very different. Started with pain in her hip which went but now she is full of aches and pains. Now she is saying it is localised more in her lower back around her waist area. Past few days saying she feels more...
Not even half way through 4th chemo cycle when letter drops on the mat for first consult oncology appointment for the chemoradiotherapy at Addenbrookes. This Friday! Short notice for work again. He can go as appointment from his job. Wonder if I can get a half day hol. I've not been keeping count of mine and haven't even been to all appointments. Find out tomorrow I guess. Need to be at some of these for when he has the information tune out phase.

I could write a million poems, not one would bring you home.
I cannot deny how much I miss you and how much I feel alone.
You always show me unconditional love, guided me towards what's right.
You always stood by me and listened even when I'd try fight.
I never got to hold your hand and tell you how much you changed me.
I never had the strength like you, but now at least you're free.
You fought Cancer until the end, until it eventually won.
God wants to help us weak, by taking...
Another day closer to the impending doom of chemo and radio. Oh joy of joys. I have managed to get some work done today, which was nice. Some of you might consider that an odd statement, but getting some work done meant that not all of my day was taken up with things related to cancer. In other words its another step closer to what my life used to be like before the cancer. I'll take those steps however I can :-)
Thats not to say I got anything terribly meaningful done, I am attempting to learn a...
Tomorrow is probably the last day I will go to the house I grew up in. The local hospice charity shop are coming to look at the remaining furniture to see if they can take it and then we hand the keys back in.
All of the personal stuff has been sorted. I went in over the weekend to move some more stuff and it was horrible seeing my family home like that.
I'm also going back to work this week, only part time to start with to see how I cope. Some days are ok and I can get through with some sense...
This is probably only going to be of interest to me! I seem to be becoming more navel-gazing as the days go by but, even if this blog serves only as a record for me to look back on, that's ok!
I was diagnosed with leukemia about a year ago. I'm never sure in things which have public viewing, just how much detail to go into so I'll just add some basics for now and maybe add more detail as I go along. For the last year, things have trogged along fairly comfortably with my blood results...
