Third Chemo

There appears to be a cumulative effect. So I am not looking forward to the next one.
Because of the problems I have agreement from my doctor to spend the first night after each of the next sessions in Aberdeen. Also to have an escort on all future visits.
If they were able to get rid of the cancer I would still need the wheelchair, sticks etc.
I was told today that they would not get rid of it. My doctor says they are trying to shrink it or at least stop its further growth. How long they can do this I don't know. My  hope is that it will be a substantial time.
The problem with bone cancer is that it creates the anaemia. I then need a blood transfusion, I am then able to face the next chemotherapy. It could be that going six weeks without another transfusion is good news. I must be stronger than I was.
Friday - so one week since the last session. I kept thinking I had recovered but I hadn't. Now I feel I might have. So I am wondering whether I am on a slow recovery.
Every session is likely to set me back more but the three weeks between will see my gradual recovery.
I spoke to the MacMillan nurse about my online chess. When I told her that I lost a queen every three weeks she said, "Chemo brain."
Evidently it is a regular thing. Someone told her one day they had forgotten to take the children to school after a session.
Christina is going back to the states this month instead of next.
Dave is here for a while but he has to get home too.
We look forward to Michael and Tamsin coming when we will get more work done.
The blinds for our new house arrive tomorrow. I may try to go  with Dave to pick them up. It will mean a few hours on Yell and a trip to Mary's shop. We will be collecting the blinds from the Ulsta shop. If they arrive. Have to check with Alasdair to see how things are going.
We got three 4ft by 4ft windows today. They are part of a plan to have cold frames behind the house.
There is probably a bit of usable wood still in the ruin. There is also a floor covering of sheep manure we may be able to use in the composting.
When we find the fencing hammer we may be able to free some old fence posts and use them for the cold frames.
I think I am now on an even keel and will start planning 2015.
