Off We Go

First of all let us wish you all a Happy New Year and we wish ourselves a "healthier" New Year. We have always said that "if you've not got your health you have nothing", well we've found out the hard way.

Can you tell that we both feel a lot more positive today? We went to Toulouse yesterday expecting John to not have the treatment, as the results of the blood test he had last Thursday showed that lots of things were worse. By mid morning the doctor told us that yesterdays results were good enough to have the injection and even some things, like the platelets, were up to normal. Today John is a different man, doing little jobs that he normally just can't be bothered with. Perhaps the tap in the kitchen will get tightened? We are aware that this may well be a false dawn because the day after the first treatment of a new cycle has been good before. Furthermore I can move my neck through 180 degrees today for the first time in weeks. The two old crocks are creaking forward!
