Hi Folks,

Apologies I missed yesterday post as I was very tired yesterday after Chemo. So when I got back in I went straight to bed after some nourishment. Slept till 7pm and Elaine brought me some dinner and drink. I got up for a while after that. I then went back to bed at 11pm.

I have some good news and bad news..my bloods are good and one of my cancer marker had reduced from 60 to 40. Which is a 30% reduction. The normal is 0-5. The bad news is that that my body and hands are still sensitive to the cold. I was walking out if the hospital and a breeze was blowing. Under normal conditions it would had been OK but this time it gives me pins and needles after a few seconds exposure. This is another new symptom..but I can manage that with gloves and more insulation. At least it was not affecting the rest of my body like cycle 2 & 3.

All in all today I am felling fine. It must be the supplements, healthy foods that I am taking that are boosting my responses to the chemo. It seems to be milder this time round except the coldness thing. Well we all live and learn.

There was an article in the Irish Daily Mirror yesterday highlighting bowel cancer. It also mention the easy way of affording it like changing the diet. Of which I have being promoting in this blog. We have the article at home so if any cannot find a copy to read and I send a scan of it to you. Just drop me a email.

Enough for now,

Later,

Sai
