A beautiful April day yesterday, the warmest on record since the 1940s apparently. Also, my Mum’s birthday and yesterday was my Dad’s. I have always felt close to my parents both when living and dead, but I have felt their presence more in recent weeks.

This “cancer journey” has been a busy one over the last ten days but is now settling. Family will be getting tired of me complaining of fatigue, but I have really felt drained.

Then, in Weston Park hospital on Wednesday was a large poster illustrating the fact that apparently 90% of patients feel fatigue because of many reasons, so now I can doze during the day with a clear conscience!

I have now started monthly injections into abdomen to combat bone lesions but the oncologist thinks these are not significant. Hopefully he is just covering all the bases.

Still awaiting biopsy results, but they should be here soon, ensuring that cancer is targeted by the correct treatment – much of which has already begun. I have every faith in Dr Winter. All in all, Wednesday’s appointment was positive. I just need to build up my fitness levels to make sure I can face any challenges that might lie ahead.

So, a look around for projects to do and people and places to visit this summer to make sure I use time positively. It’s so easy to take time for granted and therefore waste it. Every day feeling well and shared with those we love is a bonus. I am indeed grateful. So “Let the sun shine in”.
