There is one great advantage of losing weight that I noticed this morning. Ryde seems to have a succession of hills. If I walk into Town there is the inevitable hill to go up. I have to confess that prior to the diagnosis I had to stop two or three times on my way. This morning when I walked I found I could get to where I wanted to go without getting out of breath.
I suppose I should also be happy that I am avoiding shopping. In all seriousness chemo does reduce the immune system so going into places where there are lots of people(such as Tesco) is not a good idea. I tend therefore to use the small shops where there are not many customers.
I read in the paper that there are questions about my former Employer's attitude to MPs expenses. Certainly there used to be an Employer Compliance Unit one of whose tasks was to ensure that Employers only paid tax free expenses that were within some pretty strict rules. Penalties used to be imposed on erring Employers so what has happened in the case of the House of Commons fees office is any one's guess.
In the meantime I was able to eat some pizza tonight which is another improvement. As I have noted before I do need to take each day as it comes but hopefully this upward curve will continue until Tuesday when the next round of chemo starts.
