G'day all from the Riverside Apartments in Wandsworth/Putney. With many thanks to Pam, we are staying at a fabulous apartment on the river about 3 miles from the Royal Marsden which makes the daily trips to RM very much easier than the daily commute from Silverstone. We will be here until Friday 6th August.
The last three weeks of Radiotherapy are having their effect. My neck is bright red. My energy levels are very low. The hair on the back of my head/neck region is falling out and my mouth and throat are very sore, all apparently par for the course. Eating is becoming challenging as my taste buds and appetite are non existent.
I have now completed half the Radiotherapy treatments - 15 to go! I also have one more round of chemo to go - 5th August, overnight.
The doctors seem happy enough with my progress. They can't, however, say whether the treatment is working or not so all prayers are welcome. It will not be until Christmas before they can confirm that the tumour/cancer has been kicked into touch. In the meantime, I am focusing on completing the treatment and recovering.
Lucy and the girls are enjoying the start of their London summer. Ella linked in with her Children Youth Board crowd on Tuesday in Whitehall, meeting three new ministers, while Ruby and Lucy braved Oxford Street. Poppy arrives home from Tanzania on Saturday and will come to London with us next week. Poppy has had a ball getting involved in various soil conservation projects as well as helping to paint a local hospital and also helping out at a local school. We are very much looking forward to seeing her and hearing about her adventures.
Thanks again to everyone assisting us in Silverstone and in London and for all your prayers - much appreciated.
All the best,
Stephen
