Monday 31st December
This time last year I was celebrating New Year’s Eve with
friends and looking forward to what 2012 would bring......
I did have lots of good things happen and events that were
well worth celebrating, births, weddings, parties, and graduations to name but
a few. I have enjoyed meeting lots of new people and I have made many new
friends as well as strengthened relationships with old friends.
My blood tests today were not good; my white cells had dropped
even lower to 0.49, ironically my clotting platelets were up to 124!! After a
brief chat with the doctor it was quite apparent that with those results there
is no way I could have Chemo, despite the intervention of the GCSF injection,
it just wasn’t happening.
I will now be waiting for a CT scan to see what, if anything
is going on in my abdomen! My hope is that it is clear, and then I guess I am
in ‘remission’. However this time I am not ‘counting any chickens’ as I have
been through this “I have finished Chemo” lark and then the Marsden had other
ideas!!
I do not usually make any New Year resolutions, and I’m not being
any different this year except I aim to work hard, get myself fit, and appreciate
all that life has to offer, in other words ‘Carpe diem’.
Wishing everyone a very Happy and healthy New Year….
Sorry to hear your treatment plans are all us in the air again. Hoping you get some good news from the CT scan. - its about time something went your way. You are such an inspiration and there is one thing you have shown us all how to do so well and that is to live life to the full. Hoping 2013 goes well for you and you family. X
ReplyDeleteRemission sounds good and I hope and pray that it is.Whatever happens you will face this with your incredible smile and positive attitude, as you so rightly said seize the day (with a glass of champagne in your hand !!!) xxxxx
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your bloods weren't right ! I like you don't make new year resolutions but like your way of thinking of keeping fit etc. Hope you've managed to get out on this lovely rain free morning, which was such a change, being able to get out there and wish other walkers a happy new year too.Happy new year to my very inspirational friend & her lovely family xx
