Eliza, my daughter, has been introducing me to the new facilities available on this server – such as thumbnail images. It’s all rather nifty.

On Monday I was due to have my final treatment of chemotherapy, but sadly my white cell count was far too low, and combined with the high blood pressure they decided to postpone it until Thursday. Hopefully then my blood results will have improved enough to get the final dose out of the way. I say hopefully, but my emotions about the final dose are mixed. I’m pleased that I am nearly at the end, yet I dread yet another treatment. The side effects, however minimal are not fun, and I am still getting used to the hair loss. How easy it seemed when I made the decision not to continue with the cold cap!

There will be a brief period of rest before I have 15 treatments of radiotherapy spread over 3 weeks.

I’m tired at the moment. The dogs are really helping to keep me going – they are such mischief makers! My poor daughter is run ragged each day just stopping them from sticking their noses where they should not be!
