Almost the end of July. This week found me back in CLL Clinic where my blood tests showed no response to the 2nd round of Chlorambucil. WBC up a little and HGB down a little on last month. My consultant decided to lengthen the next course of Chlorambucil to 14 days and so, here I am, on day 3 with 11 more to go. Coughing quite a bit in the evening and getting a bit breathless.
Not all bad though. We managed to get to see our daughter and granddaughters for a couple of days inbetween chemo rounds and spent a week with my sister in Wales. Lots of pub meals so no one had to cook!

Thoughts from a CLL patient
Go with the flow. You can't stop the current, so enjoy yourself and don't let anything hold you back'.
Worry is like a rocking chair - it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere.
'I think you go on dancing til the lights are turned out. Then you're dancing in the dark, and that's fine, until you come back into the light again'.

Who are you?
First you are you,
and then you are middle-aged,
then you are old,
then you are wonderful!

How to LIVE
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in > sideways, Chardonnay in one hand, body thoroughly used up,> totally worn out and screaming:
'WOO HOO....what a ride!'.......

Words to Meditate on
Panic is a projection that is not real. We are not just our fears. Our fears to not necessarily determine our future. This is significant.....Greg Anderson
Keep dreams alive for when they die, life is a bird with a broken wing. It cannot fly......unknown
I am too busy trying not to die that I forget how to live...unknown
What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls a butterfly....Richard Bach

Begining of a New Day
This is the beginning of a new day.
God has given me this day to use as I will.
I can waste it or grow in its light
and be of service to others.
But what I do with this day is important
because I have exchanged a day of my life for it.
When tomorrow comes
today will be gone for ever. I hope I will not regret
the price I paid for it.
