It's been a busy week of appointments: we saw my oncologist on Monday, then a pleasant day of treatment Thursday with nurses who know me well, and finally a review with the SIRT oncologist Friday morning - and all three said the same thing - "wow! You look great!" which was itself great to hear.
And indeed I do feel great. Putting on weight and muscle tone (no need to think twice about standing up or tackling the stairs). OK, maybe I'm not back to what you'd call "normal" (whatever that may be!), but - to refer to a number of blog postings right back at he beginning of this journey, I still believe being "normal is good": in other words, doing normal stuff physically, intellectually and emotionally is good for me... well, I suppose I have to admit that while I think I'm managing the first two reasonably well, my emotional self will never be the same again! (I case you were wondering - I'm much more emotional, often tearful - which Diana says is good!)
Changing tack a little - believe it or not, this is my 99th posting to this blog. Oh boy! 99! And it just so happens that next Tuesday, the 23rd December, is exactly one year since my admission to hospital and diagnosis. So I plan on "recognising" both facts with my 100th posting on the 23rd. I'm drafting it now...
