  • I’ve just had the phone call I was waiting for… and still basically have no news. While my case was on the agenda for yesterday it seems that the cases before mine took longer than expected to deal with so they didn’t get to me, so we’re waiting for next Wednesday now. Another learning for…

  • Quick post to say I’ve heard nothing so I guess I’ll hear tomorrow.

  • Today we had the check in with the doctor after the midway chemo scan. The good news is that there’s still no sign of anything going on in my organs, which is important. But there is growth in some lymph nodes and since the cancer was in some lymph nodes earlier this is a sign…

  • The sun has caught this amazing cloud in the distance and I felt like sharing. It looks like the cloud got caught on the mountain peak and got stretched by the wind. Doesn’t lookso impressive in my photo but hopefully you can see what I mean

  • The weather has been rather changeable, recently. It’s desperately trying to be spring, weeks too early, but it’s not quite there. A week ago we had the coldest day. There was apparently snow on the ranges. We couldn’t see that from here but we did get a hard frost. Then this week we had a…

  • When we bought this house we knew the carpet was tired and old. It had a few stains and had jad a carpet beetle infestation. The beetles were gone, but they had let their mark. So we knew we would need to replace it at some point, but of course life got a bit complicated…

  • My hair, that is. Well, barely, but there’s still enough to look messy if it isn’t smoothed back and to wisp around my neck. It slowed right down after the chemo dosewhich makes me curious whether it will suddenly all shear off later this week since it only started halfway through week three last dose.…
