• 01:19 Fingers better today so I've frogged (undone) the sock I was making and started it over again, it's easier than trying to fix the problem. #

• 19:16 @vickya63 It's a side effect of the chemo. You get cracking and layers of dead dry skin peeling. Knitting makes it worse but I still do it. #

• 01:25 @badriya Have you tried Tea Tree, 3 drops in a bath with some oil to dilute. If you catch it in time you can stop a cold in it's tracks. #
• 16:19 @badriya It may have but I always findvthe pure essensial oil works best, lasts for ages and works wonders on any cuts or scrapes too. #
• 16:22 @badriya don't know how easy to get there; do you have Heath food type shops there? Here you can get there, pharmacies, even supermarkets. #

Hi Everyone,

About time I wrote a new post.

The last scan was a bit scary showing that some of the liver and lung tumours had shrunk a bit but some of the lung ones had grown a little. First time I've had any growth in the 15 months I've been on the trial and because my tumour markers have been so high they were concerned.

However the Professor has reviewed my case and feels that the disease is still stable so I can stay on my current treatment for the moment.
Worst that will happen is a change of drugs if the current trial stops working.

Next weekend we are off up to Liverpool for my sister's 70th birthday party, will be a huge family get together and I'm really looking forward to it. We've spent the last couple of months hoping that my chemo weeks would stay the same and they had! so it's my good weekend. We have family gathering from all over the place including Aberdeen, Spain and USA.

Woo Hoo!!!
