Waiting for Chemo - a quiet period

Not a lot to report - so my postings will be more sporadic - only to report the newsworthy stuff.

Yesterday, Jane and I went for a walk - I managed 30 minutes of brisk exercise - and then we went for tea and a cherry scone at a garden centre. I have lost some weight - so I am in the delightful position of being able to succomb to my gluttony!

The District Nurse came yesterday and today to change my bandage. Today she got her special probing stick which had measures on it. Seemingly by "hole" is 1.5 cm deep and then runs horizontally towards my belly button for about 4 cm. So seemingly quite a large cavity to heal up - it could take one or two weeks. She shoved in some more seaweed and put a fresh bandage on.

It is now planned for a District Nurse to visit every day for the forseeable future until my hole mends.

I would expect that we should receive a letter for an appointment with the oncologist in the next few days. I will do a new posting then.

Best wishes to all my followers.
