Busy few weeks, which I cant remember well enough to tell you about. Sorry!

So I had more chemo and a bone strengthening thing and these things plus the disease itself and radiotherapy seem to have left m bloods pretty shaky, so there was stuff that had to be done about all that as well as a lot of work on pain management. It seemed I'd built up a tolerance to the opiate based analgesia I think, so I got put on a syringe driver? I think? Anyway. Ketamine and hydro pumped in via butterfly needles in my thigh. Very drowsy making but excellent pain cover, more cut down each day! Hopefully I'll get down to a low level and be able to switch back to oral analgesia.

And the bloods are now doing better today it seems-  neutrophils back up to non neutropenic levels and haemoglobin and platelets up post transfusions. Onco hopeful that I can have chemo on thursday again after all. Hopefully it'l it time itself nicely and I'l be well enough to do things like leave hospital for more than 6hours periods  on the weekends! And then I dont know what happens. Yup.

Will try keep you updated better, but as several friends pointed out recently that I should point out... its not really my priority. I know people want to know whats going on and I appreciate all the concern but there is a line between demanding pressuriness and concern as it turns out. so I will continue to write as I can.

Hope everyone is well ad thanks for the comments from the west, always appreciate messages on this blog <3
