Thank you everyone for continuing to read this blog despite the boring nature of it. I am aware that my life and therefore this blog revolves around illness. Illness is never far away in my thoughts and dominates all I do or can't do. Yesterday felt like a glimpse of normality which is usually far away. I really enjoyed my day and fitted in quite a lot of things. I have been discouraged to read that it takes about a year to recover from chemo and for your body to return to normal. But yesterday - in the midst of chemo I did feel like normal life (or my new normal ) was going to be possible. Maybe in the future there will be days when I don't think about being ill and when I can have a more normal life.

Today dialysis with D, blood tests and a visit with oncologist. Hope all is well for chemo tomorrow - number 3 - half way.
