Day 36

A better day today. First of all I have taken the last of the pills in this round of chemotherapy. Secondly I had something positive to look forward to. Ev and two of her friends go to the mainland on Tuesdays to sing Barbershop. Before this carry on I would drive them to the ferry and come and collect them later as in 10.30PM. Well I was able to do this.

My second goal was to attend a committee meeting in connection with Hospital Radio. I had warned them in advance that I might not be able to attend all meetings if I wasn't up to it but thank goodness I went. There were some interesting points raised and I made a couple of contributions to the discussion.

The really good news is that the station is organising a fund raising venture around Halloween. The idea is that the presenters between them continuously broadcast for 72 hours and collect sponsorship. Now this will be some 10 weeks after the operation but it would be really something if I could take even a limited part, so that is another goal to aim for.

Thanks for all the messages encouraging me to hang on in there. I don't apologise for thinking those thoughts earlier in the week. Barring something unforeseen I can see myself with a needle stuck in my arm in a week's time.
