    Morning Rob, just popping in to wish you well for today. It is unlikely, methinks, that things are easing but I sincerely hope that they are. DD

    Been on regualr blood tests since I started Mtx.....

    Liver function has always been a bit high.......

    My 1st blood result since starting my poison showed it had actually gone to 'normal' levels...

    Derrrrr!!!!!.........I ain't normal........

    Otherwise things are tolerable.......

    Sickness gone (for this week)...

    Nausea isn't to bad.....

    Ulcers are slowly healing.......

    This is not only a huge physical strain, there is the mental component too. The oncology team will be looking at the physical part for sure, but I hope they are also alert to the mental distress that you, and others, must go through when fighting cancer. You have done remarkably well to keep your spirits up as high as you have over the past three-and-a-bit weeks: your grit, courage and sheer determination to be an ornery old **** will stand you in very good stead but, and it is a very big but, you cannot keep up that level of fight for ever. That in itself is tiring, demanding, wearing: chuck in (or up) the VB and the ulcers, the stress of swallowing a whacking great dose of poison plus other meds on a Sunday and the sheer uncertainty of it all - hells bells Rob, no wonder you are feeling low. I say it about the arthritis and it's equally valid here: time to sulk and have a soak in the pool of self-pity is essential. Stop fighting today, have a break from it all. I would encourage you tho to talk to people about it: not us perhaps, although we are behind you for every step of this demanding way, this is way beyond our remit. Talk to Macmillan, they know about this and they will understand. I am thinking of you, very much. You are a brave man, Rob and I send you some love. DD

    Morning Rob, I hope today is a little brighter, both mentally, physically and in reality - it has to stop raining soon, yes? DD

    whoop whoop things are looking good well done you.
    Liver function ...... if i do not drink hic mine is always higher than the norm due to drugs. It is great news your liver function is normal...brilliant in fact. The reason you feel down is because you prepare yourself for the worst. Looking good young man looking good. Loads of hugs XXXXXXXXXXXX
    PS a few more weeks and your mouth will be ready for curries and all sorts.... :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
