This post is more for tidiness than anything, there is not a great deal to report.
I finished my six bouts of chemo on 24 October, having found that halving the dose for the last two sessions made a big difference. We had a nice meal (rib of beef) to celebrate.
Now I have no further treatment scheduled, just a review mid-December. The consultant, Dr Ono, was at pains to point out that Waldenström's Macroglobulinaemia. , (as with similar lymphomas) is not actually curable, and there will be a recurrence at some future point. When, we cannot say. May be a year, may be 20 years. Hoping for the latter, obvs.
In the meantime, I feel perfectly fine. I have been doing 3-4 mile walks without any problem, and in due course will push that a bit further. At some point next year I would like to do a "proper" walk, but we shall see. I see there is a "Roof of England" walk that has been inaugurated, I might go for that. And Offa's Dyke Path has always sounded interesting..
I may add to this post if anything comes out of the December review, but no further updates are currently planned, and I am signing myself off the sicklist for the time being.
Thank you for reading!
