Thursday… t+42 – and one more session to go.
Nov 9th 2006PeterMore treatment!
And to kick off the post, a couple of photographs, one for Richard – the French Warship, moored alongside HMS Belfast, and as I was walking back over Tower Bridge, an airship flew overhead!
It has been a lovely and sunny day here, although rather cold. The only problem with that is that it tends to dry my throat out, which is uncomfortable 
and I need to sip lots of water.
However I set off relatively early for the appointement today as I had another reflexology session booked at the Dimbleby Cancer Centre at St Thomas’s. It is a moment to relax and let the cares wash away for a while. I have posted about the Dimbleby trust in the past, just a reminder, there is a link! (And Sarah, ask the nurses on Samaritan ward to book a session with Kim). After the reflexology I went down to have my penultimate dose of rays, and on the way I bumped into my other consultant, Robert Carr, so we had a chat for a couple of minutes. He urged me to keep on fighting!
The rays themselves were uneventful, just like the other days in the morning, and then I see one of the radiologists before leaving and returning home.
The sore throat is pretty much unchanged, and my appetite is pretty low, but I think the most significant thing in the last few days is how weak I feel. Even walking up one flight of stairs seems to be a major effort. Walking on the flat is OK, although I’m not walking as fast as I usually do, and running for a train is just beyond me. It is frustrating!
Still, almost done, and then with an appointment at the haemotolgy clinic next Thursday (followed by another aromatherapy session!) we will see what that brings.
Onwards and Upwards – battle continues!

so did you manage to catch HMS Illustrious on it’s way down the Thames as well? Or just the french vessel?
And I was a little disappointed – no french sailors in the picture – or none that I could see anyway
love and hugs to you all!

Peter (and Gillian if you want to call them) I think that she is the Latouche-Tréville. She is a F70 type anti-submarine frigate of the French Marine Nationale. She is the third French vessel named after the 19th century politician and admiral Louis-René Levassor de Latouche Tréville.
Wont hold much of a candle against Illustrious though.
Not long now Peter…..then to odd symptoms…….and a steady return to full recovery in 2007.
Just think of Gillian with all those Frechies in uniform after her reaction to the American firement :)…….Welll perhaps not.
Have a good weekend, pretend it is the Lord Mayor’s Show and have fun.
