Great to learn that it all seems to be progressing well for you mate.

Of course, we only have your word that you aren't one already Jack

sshhhh!!!

But what super villain would you be??

Obviously the finest type, (per-pro his Avatar).

I was thinking "Jack-o'-lantern"... but I guess that one is already taken.

The best Super-villain is the one you've never heard of .
But I like "The Hooded Claw"

But doesn't "The Hooded Claw" just translate as "The Glove"....?????

Precisely, and as I posted above : Per-pro your chosen Avatar.
No one has heard of "V for Jack"

Might just be me, but that sounds more like a porno title

Blood test on Monday CT scan today , appt with the consultant tomorrow and if all is well we start round 3 of 4 on friday

Good luck! Is it after 4 of 4 they do more blood counts/scans to assess how well it's working?

Thanks for the update.

How are you feeling within yourself?

I ache a fair bit , which pisses me off and I get tired and breathless very quickly but considering the situation I'm doing really well (imo), had a good weekend a Cadwell which improved my spirits somewhat as I was feeling a bit down and sorry for myself .

yes after 4/4 I get a dose of radiation to the brain and a full body scan , it's only been thorax abdomen and pelvis scans up to now.

I'm glad you felt your spirits lift post-Cadwell, that's really great.

Well my fingers, toes and everything I can cross will be crossed for you mate.

Keep it going, Jack.

Mental strength is a big part of what you are going through and we are with you all the way, mate.

Scan results are not available until next week but everything else is good so we are going ahead with round 3 tomorrow , managed to put 3kg on since I was last weighed so I hope that continues

Excellent stuff. Keep up the good work

So good to hear you are making solid progress mate

I had a chat with the radiologist on wednesday and they were telling me that they use a different dye solution when they do a full body scan , they use a radioactive dye combined with a sugar for these scans as they cancer cells "light up like a christmas tree " because of the sugar , cancer loves sugar apparently so I am doing my best to cut it out of my diet , just as well I have gone off of tea that must save me a good 12 -20 teaspoons a day but also means no biscuits , cakes puddings etc . I was having trouble sleeping for any duration , I wake up due to either coughing, nausea , sweating or aching after 2-3 hrs and it's diificult to get back to sleep until the symptoms have passed (generally about an hour ) so to combat this I have changed the timing and method of the application of my herbal remedy , I have been taking cannabis oil as a suppository in the mornings this method of application gives you all the apparent benefits but you don't get off your tits all day , not that I'm averse to that , instead I am taking a small amount orally last thing at night and am finding that I sleep much better and don't feel as nauseous in the morning .
