I am awake! Won the lottery on so many counts and loving my penthouse suite aka my own room which I cried when wheeled into, it’s the little things or maybe they heard about my snoring? I also like my painkiller drip might wear down the drip

Thank you for the well wishes to my last tweet it’s very kind & appreciated. My oncologist is happy with my recent CT scan it shows no signs of anything untoward so it’s 3 monthly CT scans for observation for awhile then at some point 6 monthly and eventually yearly.

Well that didn’t go well.
Chemo could not go ahead as my “neuts” fell even lower rather than climb since last weeks blood test, plus I have toothache which could be a side effect of chemo or dentist issue - emergency dentist in morning to rule out an issue
