Eid passed very well today - my brother was over with his wife and kids and it was good family time. The food was of course very good - and my only regret was forgetting to take my daily dose of lanzoprozole until after id had a very rich / spicy lunch! I had some mild heartburn as a result but nothing too bad. I went out for a walk after lunch and it was FREEZING outside. Thanksfully the huge winter coat + hat served me well.
I spoke to my friend Riaz today from UCL - he left a voicemail saying that started with asking how i was etc but then he added that this was the the last time id speak to him whilst he was single as he's leaving for India tomorrow and is getting married! I called him back and wished him all the best and we caught up for a while. I was trying to think of some historic to say to mark the ocassion but never really managed it..
This evening i've been browsing a Hodgkins Lymphoma Forum and ive come across to other people who have HL with blogs. Its been so interesting to compare the blogs. I had written long posts about 'motivation' and in the 20 mins or so i spent browsing the other blogs i found BOTH of them had long posts with the exact same title. It is reassuring hearing of others who have gone through this, even more so hearing about them coming out the other end. There is a mixture, though, of good news and bad and it shwos again how crucial the PET CT scan will be.
I have a blood test tomorrow - just the standard one to check my counts following last week's treatment.
