There has been a break because the chemotherapy had a worse and worse affect. They have now given me a scan and decided that there is no discernible improvement in my situation following the chemotherapy but an increasing downward change to my quality of life.
The hormone therapy had been partly successful.
They have a new wonder pill that I will start about 18th. August.
They will take a baseline blood test first. In November I will be checked again. If all is well I will stay on the palliative treatment.
I had another relapse the other day and gave the District Nurse some overtime. She went home at 2 a.m. leaving Janet to care for me until she returned after breakfast.
I am now relaxing and recovering.
I am looking forward to a visit from a couple of ex colleagues who used to march round the SW Coastal Path with me. We will look at the sights, try the local food and sample the output from our local brewery.
We should be able to make a good chilli sauce so I am trying to work out what to have with it.
The anaemia is still trying to take over but I am not yet needing more blood. Maybe I will manage with my own for a good while.
I will update this site a little more frequently if I don't get feverish again.
