Robbie and I had an early start today with a visit to Radiocity before 9am. We had to squeeze this in earlier than usual before a visit to Cancerworld to see Rachel. In between we had time for a coffee in Darlo. Radiocity was straightforward and my visit to Rachel was as informative as usual. She's such a sensitive doctor and good communicator. She assured me that my aches and pains were a result of being thrown into menopause and the trick will be to keep moving as much as possible. These side effects may get worse with the next stage of treatment -blocking - the fourth stage following cutting, burning and poisoning. This next stage is likely to take ten years (!), and the aim of the game is to block all the oestrogen in my system, with all the associated fun that will bring. But I'm always grateful that I have a hormone driven cancer which will be unable to grown once its food supply is cut off for good.
As we were leaving the Kinghorn we bumped into Trevor, himself on the way back from having blood tests. We make a good pair with all our medical interventions!
As usual, by the time we got home from the treatment I was feeling wiped out. After a chat with Steph working on Institute plans - thank goodness she's so on the ball - I fell into bed for a quick nap and ended up sleeping for a couple of hours.
Some work late afternoon, an evening working with Angus on his homework, and it's another day down.
Today I'm wearing a sweet owl necklace given to me by gorgeous niece Gracie a couple of years ago. She's such a thoughtful girl!
