Latest scan all cool, probably

Just been to the hospital to have my regular checkup and talk about my latest CT scan. As far as we can tell, everything looks good - I say that cautiously because a specialist still needs to look at it and write up their findings. The hematologist I saw today thought the scan looked clear, so that's encouraging.

I was also a bit worried about my spleen, but it doesn't look like it's enlarged any further - again need confirmation from the specialist, but I am still encouraged.

So as it stands, everything is looking good. Other than a recurring bout of indigestion and some fatigue when I try to do too much, I feel in great shape. Oh, my lymphocytes (white blood cells) are still very low (but higher than the last blood test, so they seem to be creeping up), which means I'm still vulnerable to colds, 'flus, etc. I just need to be sensible....

Still going well - maybe a little tired

I helped out last week at the Lymphoma Association - they are designing a new training course and wanted some input, so I went along. It was a long day for me, but an insight into how I will feel once I go back to work. It lasted from 10 - 4 and I found it draining, but very satisfying to be able to participate. Thankfully the meeting was in a nearby town - I remember thinking to myself that it was good I wasn't further away as I'd never be able to drive home I felt so tired.

I'm free of illness at the moment and am making the most of it - back walking the dog, jogging, and just being more active in general (although this hasn't yet stretched to hoovering or washing up - don't want to push myself too far too early :-)   )

I have a CT scan this Friday to see how everything looks inside. I feel good, so it should be ok, but there is always a little apprehension about these things. I'll know more once I go back for the results on the 20th.....
