Days 515 to 522

I thought today going to be a no no when we got to the Hospital only to discover that Dr. Pattinson(the Oncologist) was off sick. However subsequent events showed juts how wrong I can be sometimes.

We were ushered in to see a Consultant from the Chemo Unit and very pleasant she was too. There was good news all round. My latest blood test showed Kidneys, Liver, Pancreas etc. all in excellent working order. My weight is fine. The Consultant kindly showed me the actual results of the chest x ray I had done last month. It said that symptoms shown were consistent with a chest infection as the GP thought. I have another appointment in January but I was assured that if I had any concerns to ring the Secretary so that an earlier appointment could be arranged.

I came out with a feeling almost of euphoria. It's a reminder yet again of how lucky I have been. The sun is shining, it's a little on the cool side(7 degrees)but all is well. Once again Ev was there during the appointment to offer support and prompt me when I had forgotten something.

This last week has been busy as always. My guest on Angel Radio was local business woman Lyn Blackledge who has lead a remarkable life. Her get up and go spirit left me lost in admiration. Wearing one of my other hats on another Radio Station I had to sum up the Coalition Announced Cuts. I like to think I did this in an unbiased way. In one way it was quite easy as I don't think anyone will know how successful or otherwise the review will be for a couple of years or so.

Thus we start another week. I intend posting my next entry on Sunday.
