Cancer 124

I am writing this while in hospital, waiting for my Hickman line to be inserted. I have signed my consent form and been given information about the procedure. I love the bits that can go wrong. The best two are that they could puncture a lung or an artery. Even without mistakes they slice open my jugular. I am so looking forward to it, but if this is my last blog, you know why.

I had my consultant meeting earlier. My latest blood tests are fine, mostly normal, a couple nearly normal. Chemotherapy is authorised for next week. I will get a scan sometime soon to see what is happening down there.

Despite medical staff going for my jugular later, I am feeling very positivw. A few weeks free of  chemo drugs does help my optimism. I might not be able to beat this cancer. It will get me in the end. But I can hold the bastard down for a good while.
