It's about six months since I last wrote here, sorry about that, but I am going to try and use this blog more now. This is another update post, after this, I should be able to vary what I post about more, but when I write infrequently it is necessary each time I come back
Firstly and most importantly, my health. In January I mentioned having to go on Rituximab; this happened in February. It was slightly scary at the beginning due to the severity of the drug, but in the end, I was very lucky not to have any bad side effects. And the really good news is that it worked. I have now been off steroids for a couple of months and my platelet count is still increasing. And I can feel my strength and stamina increasing.
Now for other things that have been going on this year so far. In February, days before I started my treatment we had a family dinner, after which I along with my brother and nephews decided to go on an observation wheel that was temporarily in Cheltenham. This was a wonderful experience because it gave a very different view of the town. In May I had a day visit to Bath which is one of my favourite cities and didn't disappoint this time, the weather was perfect too. In June I went with my parents on holiday to Seaton, Cornwall; although the weather wasn't perfect we had a good break and enjoyed the area including visiting Plymouth. The end of June was my birthday and I had a brilliant day celebrating with friends, shopping in Gloucester Quays in the afternoon then a meal in the evening.
I have also been enjoying my photography, luckily Cheltenham and my local area makes this quite easy. Also had some good cinema and theatre trips.
