Amy Goes Home

We saw Amy and James off at Heathrow on Sunday. We had a great day; went ice skating to Milton Keynes and then had lunch out before heading to the M25. They didn't want to go!

I had to collect my pee in a bottle on Sunday which was a bit awkward as we were out and about all day. Carried it round in a little rucksack, a little difficult as I never could pee with any sense of direction (typical bloke!).

Since our meeting with the Oncologist Teresa has gone mad on the Internet looking up all sort alternative remedies and things I can run alongside the chemo. She's come up with loads, an organic diet, avoiding dairy (which it is thought can block the impact of chemo), B17 from Apricot kernels. If you are going through this too I've got two bits of advice:

1) Get into God
2) Get into the Internet - there is so much stuff out there

Our amazing Church met to pray for us on Sunday and have committed to pray once a month on a Sunday afternoon - we're blown away by their love - what a fantastic bunch of people.

Yesterday saw me visiting the Primose Unit for pre chemo bloods and urine checks. The bloods were done straight away and were great - I 'qualify' for chemo with such good blood. Just as well really as that's the only medical solution.
