Thought i had better update on my visit to the consultant on Friday before I forget. It was a good visit. He was pleased with my skin and feels that the scleroderma is dormant at the moment. I will see him every 3 months for a year to make sure that it isn't progressing. It is just a wait and see whether the chemo has knocked it on the head for ever. I hadn't seen him for a year so it was good to hear that I was looking very well. I was in the middle of chemo last time and looking quite poorly. While I was there I had a DXA scan to show bone density. As I am taking Arimadex I am more likely to get osteoporosis so they check what your bones are like as a base assessment. (The dialysis also effects your bones) My hips were fine but my spine already shows slight changes. Hopefully taking calcium and vitamin D will be enough for now. I am not keen to add any more tablets into the mix! It feels a bit like no part of my body has not been affected by all that has happened to me.

We had a lovely time with Josh and Debz. It is great to be able to imagine them in their home now. We had a very yummy lunch and a lovely walk to the rockery gardens near their house. How grown up it all seemed. I still don't feel odd enough to have a married son!
