We’re waiting. That’s tougher than it sounds. I’m not sure if this is the calm before or after this particular storm. Either way the current calm is unnerving. Nothing is happening. But the storm is out there. Things have been … Read More
Post arrives. Aha. A hospital letter. We’re getting good at recognising them. I have an appointment to see a dermatologist. Wow, that’s quick. Mm. Same day as sigmoidoscopy – what a fun day we’ll have. We have to go to … Read More

It’s blood test day, a week since the last one. We’re hopeful. Red cells still 108 (at least they haven’t gone down but it would be lovely if they’d go up) and the platelets are up to 245. Yeahy. Dr … Read More
