We are back after a long day. Dialysis was OK - dropped my blood pressure a few times but putting my head down solved it.

We saw a lovely renal Dr who spent ages with us. She gave us a plan for reducing the blood pressure tablets which sounded very sensible and gave us control over them. She also started me on a drug which encourages the bone marrow to make more red blood cells. It will take about 3 weeks to be noticeable but I will then begin to feel much better as my blood levels are very low at the moment. I started this today. She patiently answered our questions and explained lots of things.

Following dialysis we saw the oncologist. He has decided that hormone treatment is the way to go but needs to confirm the dosage along side dialysis. I will take this as tablets daily (probably) and wait and see what effect it has. I may take it for 3-6 months and then have surgery.

I feel that there is a lot of waiting ahead of us. Waiting for drug to work, waiting for kidneys to recover, waiting to see if we can reduce BP tablets etc..... I am not good at waiting which many of you who know me will know. Maybe this is what I need to be learning. Patience !!!! However I continue to trust that God is in charge of all things and his timing is perfect.
