Friday 3rd August


Friday 3rd July
I was on my bike at 7.50am this morning (literally), I even managed to transverse two parishes! Met a fellow parishioner at Les Platons (MJ), good excuse for a ‘rest’!  It gives such a good buzz when you’re freewheeling downhill although I did have the les vent aux chu (Jerrais, although probably misspelt!)

My daughter came with me into hospital for the blood test, and that was as entertaining as ever…
Although It’s never happened before they ‘lost’ my bloods, somewhere between ‘the pod’ on the 7th floor and the Path lab, an hour later a 2nd lot of blood taken and in the meantime Dr H is called on the phone to ‘discuss’ my chemo on Wednesday, which actually I am now NOT having, despite the bloods being just about ‘good to go’!

I think that is because the last time I had chemo was June 22nd, too much time has passed, and my hair has started to grow again!! I am really, really confused, I don’t have results from Mammogram; I just seem to have lost a grip on what is actually happening as regards my treatment!!

I do feel sorry for the department, they are so stretched with patient/nurse ratios and trying very hard to compensate, it’s just not easy for anyone. 

I did see my daughter’s friend in Oncology who sadly has had a re occurrence of her cancer and is due to go to London for heavy duty chemo in an isolation unit- that upset me, It’s not right for an 18yr old or any youngster in the prime of her life to go through that…

We visited the puppy, she is full of herself and the only one to escape the box, (our work is cut out), and although it brightened the day I needed ‘time’ out’. So I took myself to the beach (and then talked for 2 hours to Trinity folk!!)

I have managed to ‘book’ an appointment with the Doctor at 11am on Tuesday, so hopefully hubby can come and try and make sense of it all….Until then I shall ‘Keep my pecker up!’

“It is courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendour. Live bravely and present a brave front to adversity.”

  2. You must be so disappointed about chemo, especially when bloods OK, which is what you have been waiting for for weeks. Grill all concerned on Tuesday. You've had 4 children, I'm sure you can handle a pup,LOL!XXX
