What a relief, I have just started my last chemo cycle, with 'neuts' over 2! I will now take chemo tablets for 14days and my last injection will be on the 21st April. It should have been 14th April but the young Asian nurse, injecting me today, sarcastically commented that it is important that he has a holiday for Christian festivals!But I don't care cos I'm almost there and some sort of a return to normality is so close on the horizon! I will fill in my next and last blog entry around the 21st as a blog is not for life although it has got me through a very difficult period in my life and thanks to everyone who has bothered reading it. It has felt lovely knowing that friends and family have been able to have up to date info so easily and the hundreds of visitor hits have let me know that you're all out there gunning for me! I'll probably leave my blog floating around the ether for a while in case its helpful to anyone else, but I think that nearly 9 months of the Adventures of Pamazon is enough for most folks, no matter how caring and concerned! This week has been Ok as I've felt quite well and I've done lots,... reflexology, Tai Chi, an art afternoon, coffee outings, an evening at the pub and last but not least my first visit last night to the Warrington Breast Care Support Group, that meets each month at the hospital postgrad. centre. I went with a friend from work and I was really impressed by the warm welcome extended to us. There was a talk by a local breast care nurse which was informative and uplifting. She said that Warrington was ranked 3rd in the country for its BC support and Clatterbridge was 2nd in Europe as a centre of excellence. Not sure where the stats came from but they sounded very reassuring. Also Herceptin is available for those needing it at the primary stage despite the £25000 per year cost! I haven't needed it but good old Warrington for sparing women the upset of having to fight for it. Tomorrow is the old man's birthday and so we're going to a local theatre to see a Ben Elton play, but Pete's real present is our trip to the Lakes at the end of the month which we're both looking forward to enormously even if I can't shin up the mountains with him. So until the 21st, Yours in a state of extreme anticipation, Pam X
