Had a really good appointment with the oncologist today. He is really pleased with my progress, the swallowing is normal and my bloods were strong which means I’m responding very well to the chemo! Can’t tell you what positive news this is; thank-you prayer team and the NHS! After a couple of ‘heavy’ appointments it was great to hear good news today. I have unfortunately managed to pick up an infection in my gums (for which I have antibiotics) and thrush (for which I have tablets); I have lost track of the amount pills I’m taking now. I think its about 8 separate prescriptions. I'm certainly getting my monies worth from ny National Insurance contributions.
Mu Chambers (leader at Wootton New Life) was telling me that 7 different churches were represented at the prayer meeting for me yesterday. Thank you so much for your faithfulness; the prayer is working!
My cousin and auntie are here today from Derbyshire which is great; I’ve cooked a massive spread for when Teresa gets home from Kip McGrath later. Beef stew and dumplings followed by rhubarb and raspberry crumble and custard; just the job for a cold night.
I have my PIC line fitted on Tuesday at 9.00 and the kids are paying a visit to the Primrose Oncology unit to see where daddy is spending so much of his time. I’ll let you know how it goes.
My post might be a little later tomorrow as I’m off to the Church youth group (XLR8) to help lead the evening we are looking at teenage insecurities and angst. If anyone knows of a similar evening for mid life insecurities and angst let me know and I’ll sign up!
Well all my lovely guests have got out of the hot tub now so the kitchen beckons; time to do my Jamie Oliver…..
See ya
Irritatingly Perky Dave!

Big love to tez and the gang.

Great to hear it's been a good day. Thanks for the French Nationality test for the boys. I left a comment on your "Dumplings blog" from the other day. S & J
Dovid....you do like your dumplings, don't you? Is it a man thing?!
We were listening to our fave Delirious cd in the car today, and the song called "Every little thing is gonna be alright" came on....do you know it? While it was playing, between sniffles, I felt Gods presence and reassurance that He really does have your situation in hand, and that He was somehow acknowledging our prayers.
I will blog the words tomorrow,as I think they are very fitting.
Every minute of every day the yearning continues, to hear those words....no trace.
Love to you all,
Sianaroonie.
Chloe......When you come to see the ponies I will show you where Adam lives, as he is in Halls of residence at moment, he will be looking for a place to share with his mates next year..perhaps you could advise on the best (or cheapest) areas to look. No spolling mistokes thewre!!!!
Carys......A man went to the doctors with jelly in one ear, and custard in the other ear. The doctor said"Good morning Sir, what can I do for you"?
The man said, "Speak up, I'm a TRIFLE deaf!" Boom, Boom.
