My appointment with my oncologist went very well. My mammogram is clear which is very good news. He thinks that some of the aches and pains I have been having are as a result of the radiotherapy. It is very reassuring to know that as far as can be known all is well. My oncologist said that normally we would now move to annual appointments but that given my history he would like to continue to see me 6 monthly. I am happy to go with that. He also said that if I had any concerns I was to ring and he would see me straight away. That too is reassuring. While i waited for my appointment I popped in to see the staff and patients on Benyon, the dialysis ward. Every time I go there I am welcomed with open arms. It is hard to be there and remember but it is such an encouragement to the staff. I have lots of hugs! Sadly I heard that one of the lovely patients who regularly prayed for me has died. She was 92. I feel sad to know that I won't see her again but rejoice that she is in heaven with a new body and not needing dialysis any more. She was so tired. Next Wednesday is my renal appointment and then hopefully another little break from hospitals. Thank you for your prayers, emails and texts.
