I only blogged on Wednesday, but still... got a few things to catch people up on. I had a 10% dose reduction last week, to try and deal with my peripheral neuropathy ... and I do feel that although still shattered (and managing to engage with PremDAC20 for most of the day on Saturday), I've felt a bit more 'with it' this week, my raw skin has healed over and now mostly seems to need…

I posted on Friday that I was expecting scan results next Wednesday (28th), but that my nurses yesterday (who can't interpret/return the results) could see that they were on the system, so emailed my oncologist to ask if I could have the results any earlier.

The last few weeks have been hard work, to say the least ... once again gone from working on a big bid, getting on with some writing (including a piece on using blogging to manage cancer, and wondering what might write about as treatment becomes more 'routine' - ha ha ha - I wish for routine!) to the uncertain jungle of changing diagnosis, new tumours, new treatments and fear as cancer punches me in the…
