I’m 60% of the way to DAY 100 😊🎉 There’ll be cake and blackcurrant juice this afternoon 🥳 And weirdly my eyebrows have suddenly started growing long, and quite rapidly ! Nobody told me that this would happen … At the same time the hair on my face has started growing quickly – but (much) more on the… Continue reading DAY 60

No blood test today, and we have a lovely lazy time. It’s a blue sky sunny 😎😎 We spend 3+ hours in the garden having coffee, doing jobs, me walking, having lunch, and relaxing. We don’t talk about, or even think about the problem mentioned yesterday. A perfect day 😊 I walk 600 steps (in… Continue reading DAY 59

Yet another blood test this morning 🙄 And I was given my latest test results: I’ve been a bit worried, recently, about my haemoglobin things in general, and RDW in particular. I haven’t mentioned it here before, in case it caused any worries. RDW is a measure of the uniformity of red blood cells. The bigger… Continue reading DAY 58

It’s going to be a good morning, so we’ll head off for a walk in the sun 😊 Rain this afternoon 🙄 Well it’s a VERY BIG day today because it’s the first time that I’ve driven my car in over 10 weeks!   I’m driving us (the about 10 miles) to The Friary, for… Continue reading DAY 57

A good day, but wet. Not much happened. 😊

Blood test 🙄 followed by lovely blue sky walk today. 2,352 Steps! Perfect 😊

It’s been a really lovely Birthday day, today. I’ve felt lots of love and joy from everyone in my family, and friends. And we’ve had some delicious Birthday cake 😋 A perfect day. Thank you everyone x

Mmmm … it’s my Birthday tomorrow. What a year it’s been! This time last year, my Myeloma hadn’t been diagnosed! I was being tested in all sorts of ways, but the problem wasn’t diagnosed until 3rd February. Treatment started on 24th February. I called it ‘Ken’, because I couldn’t say the word Chemotherapy 🙄 Ken… Continue reading DAY 53

Up early and off into hospital for a blood test (again), and to get more tablets.  Only four bottles of blood this time. They’ve cut out the ‘light chain’ test because it’s been stable for about 2 months. A nurse gives me a big bag of boxes of tablets.  Surprisingly there are enough for 3… Continue reading DAY 52

Blood test results today … and here’s a summary: I’m still doing really well, though some results aren’t perfect. The Consultant said that they expect results ‘to wobble a bit’ after Stem Cell Transplant. So they’re going to check it twice a week, now. Isn’t the way that they look after me wonderful 👏👏😊
