I had my first mistletoe injection on the 20th February and I STILL have a lump in the injection site a month later. This means I don't have to inject again until the lump goes, so probably in a couple of more weeks. I can't say I am sad about that.
I have to say that I am much more comfortable in bed now, the last chemoembolization Prof. Vogl did for me in February seems to have really made a difference. We see him again in May, giving us a nice three-month break from treatment. The longest we have had since I was diagnosed with mesothelioma. I am still not sleeping properly though. If anyone has any great ideas other than getting drunk I would love to hear them.
Actually getting drunk might become an option; where's the Bailey's?
Thank goodness the weather has improved; going for walks in the extreme cold was very difficult as the cold hurt my lungs. It is altogether much more pleasant now, especially as the spring flowers are starting to show and the sun occasionally comes out.
We are looking forward to a holiday in April, but before that we have our friend Carol coming to visit who we last saw over thirty years ago and she was responsible for Rob and I first meeting, for which we are very grateful. I am really looking forward to her and her husband John's visit. It will be the first time we meet John.
Mother's day was very pleasant. The night before we went to Brighton to see Chris Rea in concert, then stayed with my sister Dawn and had lunch with her and her daughter Jade, her partner and her three young children. We got home late afternoon and were visited by our children bearing cards and flowers, very nice. We see a lot of our children; they all live fairly close by which is lovely for us.
The picture this time is by my four-year-old great niece Lily who made it especially for me with a printed picture and stickers, which she did herself. I have it in our study and it cheers me up.
She is a talented young lady and very beautiful. Thank you Lily.
