Tuesday 7^th August

Took Mr L with me to the hospital appointment today, as I seem to always come out in a more confused state then when I went in! Spent about 20 minutes chatting to Dr H and Nurse AP, and things are a little clearer now. We have to wait for the Royal Marsden to actually give their final verdict about my on-going treatment, but Dr H is saying that providing my CT scan (no date yet but asap) and another blood test should  ‘match up’ with a general ‘All Clear’, then he would stop all the chemotherapy, because in his view it has been successful. The fact that I have struggled to raise my blood clotting/white cells indicates that I could very well become extremely ill if I continue. However it is always good to get a second opinion and everything is always double checked by the Marsden, so I know that I’m getting the best treatment possible and my well-being is paramount. 

Arriving home my neighbour PDlh kindly picked me and another friend SS and drove us to St Brelade where we met up with SW and SleC at La Moye Golf club, yes, we really were ‘Ladies who lunch’!!

We had a super lunch in such a fabulous setting, and then trundled off further into the depths of St Ouen to pick up a stair gate that another friend has kindly given me (thanks EleM!)

It was lovely to have been driven around today and to spend time with good friends….and to finish the day two hours of tennis, thanks everyone!
