Good evening Stella, Craig and of course Winston. Like everyone else I am truly sorry for your delay. I know exactly how you feel at the moment. Before this cycle of treatment my bloods were below the acceptable level for 3 weeks in a row. It’s the frustrations which occurs with the delay, I find the hardest to deal with. Swings and roundabouts all the way my Oncologist always says. Chin up my love, you are a strong and beautiful human being and it will get better again. I shall cross everything I can for your bloods on Monday. Love to you all from

Thank you Leelaloo and Alana 

Yes I will go on my safari this year! I have been reading the guide book on Zambia and it was really fascinating. 

Not done much today. Went for a walk and visited my elderly neighbours for chats. 

Alana Hope your blood level would improve soon. It is hard to build up to have the chemo which make me feel nauseous then not to have it. That then frustrate me. Try to accept this just the game we play with and enjoy life as much as I can. 

Hope everyone had a peaceful day.

BTW Winston peed in a cardboard box in the living room! At least there is nothing in it !

Love Stella xx

Naughty Winston, is he displeased with your level of attention to him?  He is some lovable character your cat, or should I say Lilly’s virtual boyfriend. She had been in the huffs earlier as well. Had to go to my friend a few doors down to set up her new router and get her gadgets and gizmos connected to the new settings. Since it was nearly lunchtime before I had her sorted, my pal made lunch for us. It was lovely but Lilly decided to throw herself into a mega huff when I came back home. All is forgiven now, bribed her with a bit of cooked chicken this afternoon. Honestly what are they like. Have a peaceful evening xx 

love Angie and Lilly xx

Hi Stella and Angie and everyone.  Winston and Lilly sound like cats with attitude  who knew cats could sulk.  Stella when you go to Zambia you should look at going to Zanzibar maybe after your safari,  it is beautiful Spice Island.  You can fly there, I went by ferry as I was backpacking at the time and couldnt afford to fly.  I hope everyone has a good day x

PS  How low are the neutrophils when they wont give you treatment.  Mine were 1.2 last time and I still had treatment but when they went below 1 I couldnt have the treatment, is this standard?

For my chemo the lowest is 1.0. But some can be set at 1.5. I was 0.9 last week then down to 0,79 this week. When I had chemo last time it was 2.7. So no idea why it went down so much. Maybe the body just  want a rest

Maybe you need to drink more cocktails Stella. x

Could be all the wine I had in Mallorca that did it! It was the highest since I had chemo. Maybe I really need a holiday again! 
on the other note I have received two bundles of flower flowers today so that has boosted my mood. 
 

Have a good day everyone xx

Hope Lilly is satisfied with your service today. 
Winston sends his love ️
