August 2014 Update

Well, 3 months after the end of the 4th cycle, this is how I'm looking....


OK, so the hair is back (which is good) but the 'chemo brain' and tinnitus haven't gone away (which is bad). Oncology view is that both will take some time - probably a year (which is bad). Still, the 3 month scan last week was clear (which is good).

The Penny Brohn 'Living Well' course was..... interesting. Sure I can see it does the bits the NHS doesn't, but I'm not really the one who needed much help on the diet & exercise front (being married to a full Colonel in the Food Police......)


Still, it's good work that they do there so check it out for yourselves:

Yes, well we all know (or should know) that Beer Burger 'n Fags are NOT your BBF when you've been through what I have, but c'mon, its August... the odd BBQ 'ain't gonna hurt... really it's not...

So, the next waypoint is the 6-month scan in the Autumn - I'll keep you posted. In the meantime....
