Just as well I packed my ski jacket for this rather cool climate "up north" despite it being August..... :-)
Arrived this afternoon to spend the the weekend with my sister, brother in law and two of my great nieces, and maybe to have a bit of a break from island life.
I'm looking forward to seeing not only them but all their friends who have been keeping me in their thoughts and prayers over the last five years, most of whom I have never met but feel humbled by their generosity of spirit.
I feel well, and I've been told by folks that I look well ( unless they're lying!) but I won't know until the next few weeks how things really are progressing.
I had a blood test on Friday, mostly to see what the CA125 count is like, but also to check my liver and kidney function.
I've been on Letrizole since the beginning of June, with a few mild side effects, and I want to see if it really is working.
I have an appointment at Overdale on Thursday next week for a bone density scan and should be receiving results from the bone marrow test the 4th September.
As a very good friend once told me " worry does not influence outcome", but it's been difficult not to .
“Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.”
– Arthur Somers Roche
Lastly,
“Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.”
– Henry Ward Beecher
