Thursday…t+39 – guess where I have been?
Oct 19th 2006PeterMore treatment!
Oh – you guessed! Yes, back up to Guy’s again for another check up with the lovely Linny! Not much to report really. There is still some swelling round by tonsils, but I knew that anyway as my voice is still a bit odd, but the radiotherapy in 2 weeks should sort that out. Linny did emphasise that the radiotherapy will probably knock me down a bit!
Meanwhile I am to double the dose of thalidomide to get the immune system twitching. My next appointment is next Thursday, unless anything dramatic happens with the swelling in the meantime. One thing Linny did say was that the amount of activity on the PET scan is a bit higher than it was after the transplant – so best the radiotherapy gets to work soon then!
After the chat with Linny, I went up for a lung function test. No real change from last time, so the next one will be in 3 months’ time.
Tonight I am off out to dinner to celebrate a little sea battle held 201 years ago! Should be a good evening!
Onwards and Upwards….

I know and understand that you may feel impatient but two days early…???
Let’s hope you are allowed a grog or two, or three or……sleep tight.

Yes but that would mean a hangover over the weekend which really wouldn’t be on now would it, can’t interfere with ones weekend.
Hope you enjoyed it Peter.

So you couldn’t wait a couple of days to get dressed up in the sailor uniform – or do you just continue with the celebrations on over the weekend?
Hope you had a good time (rum tots all round?)

Thank you Gillian – any excuse to get dressed up! It was a good evening! (no Rum though – but lots of port!)
