Back on track

The past month, since getting out of hospital, has been great. The haemoglobins did the trick, killed the virus and protected me from other colds - there were times I was convinced I'd catch something as I met others with heavy colds. But no, I got away with it. Shame the haemoglobins only last a few weeks.

So, it's back to "normal" for me now. Basically staying fit (I'm running again), healthy (very difficult when everyone seems to have a virus), and watching my lymphocyte count in the hope it will start rising before too long. As much as possible, I avoid places where I might catch a virus.

I have found a good work rhythm which involves 2 days in the office and working from home the rest of the week. This doesn't seem as tiring as three days in the office and I'm happy with my current concentration levels.

All eyes now turn to January, when I will have my next scan to check for lymphoma. I'm feeling positive about this because I feel so well, so I think it'll be fine.
