Hi everyone

I'll be heading for the doctor's in ¾ of an hour for my latest blood test for my bone marrow cancer. I'll have a telephone consultation on Friday to find out what state my blood is in. Last time, eight weeks ago, I was declared neutropenic after the previous two occasions when I was dead on the line between safety and danger. 

Take care and stay safe everyone

    Sorry to hear your disappointing news. It does get hard when we get bad news. But we keep on going and enjoy the garden and appreciate what we have.

    I hope they can do something to improve your situation.

    I have viewed my CT  scan on my computer and the lung mets are larger some 3 cm and one 4,5 cm
    i didn’t view the brain scan because I don’t really understand it. The oncoldid show me when the mets first showed up. I will ask for the written report which my oncologist will send me once he has spoken to me on the phone tomorrow. I am not looking forward to the conversation.

    Thinking of you

    love Ruth xxx

    Hi all,

    havent been on here for a couple of days, so i have some catching up to do.

    1 - great to hear you are stable. Enjoy it

    2. - sorry your news is less good. You seem to be a survivor though, and just keep going despite the pain and discomfort. A garden is a marvellous thing, even if just for pottering if heavier jobs are a bit much at times, and you clearly take so much joy from your garden, and your gardening wisdom is much appreciated.

    3. - good luck with the conversation and hope the results are the best they can be.

    xx
