onwards

A bit of a lull in writing recently, I know. But, as the old adage goes, no news is good news.

It's been a fairly uneventful few days; I've just been recovering from the chemo and getting on with things. I feel a lot better than usual, which is the good news; almost definitely because the "threat" of another chemo sesh coming up has been alleviated for good now.

Consequently, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to me in terms of my recovery after Friday; it'll be the first 2 weeks in what feels like bloody ages (almost 5 months now!) which is not bookended by cytotoxic drugs being pumped through my system.

On that, I went / tried to go for a run on Sunday and it amazed me just how much I've lost my physical fitness now.  I mean, I shouldn't be too surprised, given what my body's had to deal with, but still; I was halfway down the road and my lungs began to feel like I'd been on 30-a-day for the last few months... lovely! I guess I'll build it slowly as time allows.

Other things; went to clinic today - nothing of importance to note except that my final PET scan is on the week commencing 6th September; I'm booked back into clinic on the 16th September to hear the (what she said should be expected to be good) results. I'll try to forget about it now, lest the scanxiety begin.

Not much else planned - I'll write again this time next week once I've had my maiden radiotherapy sesh
