Starting Chemo Cycle #9















I have delayed the start of cycle number nine until today, 6 December 2010, so I could fit in a bush walk with Michael Weare on the week-end just gone. It was a very wet walk at Mt Barney to survey the lower section of the Eagles Ridge route. We saw some interesting granite country and vowed to return next year after this therapy is over and I will hopefully have more energy.

The usual monthly blood test was done last week and showed that my counts were all in the normal range so the next cycle can proceed as planned. My oncologist, Dr Mainwaring , is very pleased with my progress. I'm just happy that the end of this marathon treatment is now in sight! The last cycle will be in March 2011.
