At home with Cancer

Well, we're still at home.

Brett's consultant phoned yesterday to get us in to hospital Friday, hopefully just for a clinic appointment.
He had bloods taken from a community nurse yesterday and his line dressing changed.
He has taken over organising his meds so I am redundant from that job (not that I'm the slightest bit bothered he often gave me a hateful look when I came in with this hours pile of pills).

We don't really know what's happening next.
He is due a bone marrow test next week to show that he has achieved induction remission (fingers crossed) and then next stage of the plan will be explained to us based on those results.

So we are in the dark, not that its bothering us too much. 

Any day at home is a blessing.

I am writing this blog whilst my daughter is ill on the settee with a sickness bug.

Yes I said daughter - Its so strange when she gets ill.
I have to try and remember that this bug wont kill her and that I don't need to check her temp and get her to hospital.
I am so cancer programmed that normal life now seems weird and unusual.


Brett on the other hand has gone out!!
His bloods came back so high he decided to go out and about with his cousin and close friend Emma.
He is going shopping, lunch and to see friends, and will no doubt stare-out any idiot that gawps at his bald head for too long.

I am so glad he's getting some fun in before the next stage of treatment, whatever it will be, it will be intense.



I shall now go back to emptying the sick bucket and caring for my girl...strange.
