None the wiser

So the appointment today with Dr Will was essentially to get the list of tests that need to be done in the next eight weeks.

CT
Bone Marrow
Blood test
PET scan
Possibly another biopsy

I'm getting a week or two respite from treatment, doctors and being jabbed to recover from the radiotherapy - then its "test" time to see where things are now.

Fingers crossed!

Last day today for Radiotherapy

Last day and happy for that as the side effects have definately caught up with me in the past few days, fatigue and nausea are constants now.  But thankfully, today is the last day and recovery begins.

Seeing Dr Will Stevenson on Friday.

3 to go

Very glad its Saturday and that I don't have to go to radiotherapy.  Managing side effects and taking it easy.

4 to go

Radiotherapy is catching up with me, particularly the nausea.  Stepped up the medication to something a little stronger.

21 down and 9 to go

On the home straight now.  The radiotherapy has been "honed" alittle to focus on the lesion itself now and not the large area that it focused on for the first 20 shots.  Side effects are managable and I'm resting regularly.

17 down and 13 to go

This weekend was a lovely weekend - catching up with a pile of family and friends - Saturday starting with coffee and pancakes at Manly with an old work colleague, than a surprise drop in on a friend's new house to check it out and also have a perve at the new Harley D in the garage, topped off by a visit and a chat with the "boys" at the rifle range.  I was tired saturday arvo, in bed by 7.30pm, but very pleased I made the effort all round.

Sunday was spent with family celebrating Glenn's grandfathers 91st birthday!

My side effects seem to have plateaued and are still managed well with medication and by naps when needed.

BTW - my hair is starting to grow back,  it's what I'd call "bum fluff" at the moment - but better than nothing!

PS The AC/DC music is in memory of a good friend David "Cookie" who passed suddenly early last year. Thankfully, a couple of weeks prior, GT and I had been in Melbourne and had a great night with him at the AC/DC concert - singing our heads off.  David also did a sensational Angus Young air-guitar impersonation.  Live hard, die happy!
