Is that a light at the end of the tunnel?

We hope so...

I'm at last on the up, mostly.  Fatigue and tiredness much improved as the effects of chemo- (cycle 1) and radio-therapies abate, and the healing muscles begin (at least in small measure) to settle down and behave  - I actually slept last night!

This comes to you from the clinic, towards the end of a 9 hour stint - as well as the normal therapy (cycle 2 of the new era) I'm enjoying a blood transfusion:  it seems the fatigue/tiredness was anaemia caused by the radio therapy, so a "couple of units should help".  I reckon my red blood cells were on their way up anyway(*), but still at such a low level that a little help won't hurt...

But it is good to be feeling so much better, if not yet fully well.

(*) interesting how the decision to do a transfusion was based on a "false" downward trend (high just before the RT infusion through to a low level today), whereas the probable trend has Ben  up, from a deeper low soon after the infusion.  Practical example of getting the sampling rate wrong!
