Monday was not a very good day, that then became a pretty rubbish day (weather excluded) quite quickly.
I am to blame, of course for part of it, the part when Steve says innocently "So, have you got the Wimbledon tickets then?" and I reply (cue puzzled, concerned face) "Oh, no... I havent".
Cutting a long story short, when I was allocated the tickets for Court No 1 on the 11th July I should have received an email asking me if i wanted them.
This was in the middle of May, and as you may remember I had a few other things on my mind, radiotherapy for one. Bex has checked my emails, and my junk and there is no email, but of course I should have followed it up but didn't.
If the tickets are not claimed by the 3rd June, you've lost them.
In short this means that although the flights are booked and we leave on Saturday we have no tickets, which probably means no Wimbledon.
BUT, we do have tickets for the Hampton Court Flower show on the Sunday, so all is not lost!
By lunchtime on Monday I took a call from my consultant to say not to panic, or to get upset etc.
It's so hard to have to ring people up to give them bad news, news you know will make them panic and get upset, news they really don't want to hear, that nobody wants to hear, ever.
My cancer marker (the CA 125 blood test I have) has risen again- this time up to 114, not terrible news but still pretty rubbish.
Although I had an appointment at the hospital on Tuesday I never went, as I had previously spoken to KG twice more on the phone. She has been trying to get in touch with DR AG from the Marsden, and as I had had all my blood results I wouldnt have learnt anything new from a visit.
She has set a meeting up with DR CM who deals with the bone marrow test (among lots of other things) for tomorrow morning (Friday), and I guess I'll talk about the bone density scan too.
In a further conversation to KG this morning she did say that possibly due to the fact I have had recent radiotherapy and could still have inflammation which could have raised the markers, equally the Letrizole drug I have only been on for 4 weeks may not have fully started to 'work' yet.
More information hopefully tomorrow.

Oh dear! I think that's a definite 'double fault' for the tennis! What a shame. Still, maybe you and Steve can get to the Lords test?!
