Month: February 2017

This afternoon we have been to see Dr Alexander my oncologist for a routine appointment.  It was reassuringly uninteresting and brief ?

My markers continue to sit well within the ‘normal’ zone and the detailed report on my latest blood test shows calcium levels and liver function sitting within the normal range in all cases.  So after an examination (read as feel) of all the relevant areas and an examination (read as listen) to my chest and lungs we were out of there!  So quickly in fact, that the car park was free!!

I did just stop to pick up my graph ? and make my next appointment for 4 months time.

I don’t think things could be any better.

Talk to you soon

… its not quite sprung but Mother Nature is ramping up!

I love spring for many reasons, the recent rain is not at the top of my list of reasons (yes, of course I have a list!) however, I know that is essential and without it our land would not be as green and pleasant ?

Closer to the top of the list are snowdrops. For me they are the first sign of optimism a quiet declaration that there is still life in the earth; many things are taking a well deserved rest however it won’t be long before everything starts fighting for its own special place in the universe.  Some of the wildlife are also beginning their battles.  The birds are much more vocal, busily and loudly staking their claims on various trees, bushes and lengths of fence! An extra treat for us this week has been the hare who has chosen his mate in the field behind us and is chasing away any contenders.  They are of course too far away to get a photo of any quality but in a way I like that.  There’s no option other than to just soak up the experience with wonder and joy ❤

I had my bone treatment this morning and I was honoured to have the gorgeous Jo as my nurse ? She wears dark blue these days which makes her very important and I’m glad to report that it hasn’t changed her! She is just as kind, caring and fabulous as ever. I really consider myself very lucky to be in the care of such an amazing team.

I have an appointment with Dr Alexander on Wednesday this week, time flies!  It doesn’t seem 12 weeks since we last saw her. I’m expecting her to not have anything too interesting to say after all, I am a relentless optimist!

Talk to you soon, lots of love Mand ❤
