Cancer 123

I am in the last week before my treatment restarts, and I feel physically better than I have felt since it started last year, nearly a year ago. Today I walked further than I have walked since my operation. It was under two miles, but it was hilly. I am absolutely knackered now, with even my finger joints aching, though I didn’t walk on my hands. For the third time in a week I have achieved 10,000 steps – a meaningless statistic I know, but something I ahve not achieved in a long while.

Inevitably my situation puts me in two minds. Do I restart the treatment or do I not bother and enjoy the good health while I have it? Inevitably there is a part of me that says, sod it, enjoy the moment, but the dominant part is still on having the treatment, so look forward to me being a miserable bugger next week.

It is Monday. I have my bloods taken on Thursday. I have my Hickman line inserted on Friday. My treatment starts the following Tuesday. I am already looking forward to three months time when I can hopefully take another break. Roll on September.
