Musings and Leanings: The Sixth Cycle
http://musingsandleanings.blogspot.com/2011/06/sixth-cycle.html
Sunday, 5 June 2011. I imagine it is a sign that some of the intensity has gone out of a situation when the frequency of blogs on the subject dies down. Well at least that’s what I’m telling myself as I realise I haven’t written for a while and haven’t even kept you up to date with how Janine fared with the 5. Very well is the answer to that and it was the best cycle yet both in terms of the side effects during the treatment and in the recovery. Cycle might have prevented it. It should in theory have sta...

Musings and Leanings: The Appointment
http://musingsandleanings.blogspot.com/2011/04/appointment.html
Wednesday, 6 April 2011. Janine had her scans today as planned and we travel up again tomorrow to get the results. Well, I say the results, we are going to get a preliminary view and then there is a team meeting at which the detail of any future treatment will be worked out. At least we will know what impact the chemotherapy has had and whether any future treatment is likely. Up until yesterday, it had been a really good week for Janine. It was a dark December afternoon and I thought we were going to see...

Musings and Leanings: Done
http://musingsandleanings.blogspot.com/2011/07/normal-0-false-false-false.html
Thursday, 14 July 2011. When we were told back at Christmas that Janine’s treatment would last six months, I wasn’t sure that could be right. Surely three to four cycles of chemotherapy couldn’t take that long when they were every three weeks. But here we are six months later and with the treatment only just finished. Not that we can complain as the treatment has done what it was intended to do and the scan Janine had last week showed that she is still in remission. Where does faith come into all this?

Musings and Leanings: Sixes
http://musingsandleanings.blogspot.com/2011/06/sixes.html
Friday, 24 June 2011. Six games to a set, 6 balls to an over, 6 cycles in a treatment regime. I may be stretching the point but perhaps there are some common themes to our summer. Actually, that really is stretching the point isn’t it but I needed an introduction, Janine is lying on the sofa watching Andy Murray, I wish we were watching the cricket and it all sort of came to me. In fact, she has been home a week and, having recovered very well with minimal side effects, enters her neutropenic phase today.

Musings and Leanings: January 2011
http://musingsandleanings.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 January 2011. Don't be afraid of the dark. For those of you who aren't part of. Anyway, yesterday Janine was one of the ten. She was indulged slightly and stretched her ten minutes but if you weren't there and would like to hear what she said then you can get the podcast here:.

Musings and Leanings: February 2011
http://musingsandleanings.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, 24 February 2011. The Red Chair of Contemplation and Thelma and Louise. It was Janine’s birthday on Saturday and one of the gifts she received was a red Ikea chair. Some of you will know that just prior to the election last May we acquired a ‘hat of reasonableness’. Discussions at the dinner table had become somewhat passionate and occasionally heated (apparently provoked by me – which I find hard to believe) and I decided we needed something that would bring order from the chaos. You know how ...

Musings and Leanings: May 2011
http://musingsandleanings.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Monday, 9 May 2011. A week is a long time in . After a week waiting for a bed, Janine went back into hospital this afternoon and will start her 5. Lemon Drizzle …………. no I won’t go there. In truth, I had committed to this just as Janine was diagnosed and we agreed I should pursue it as best I could given that the next elections are 4 years away. I’ll leave it with you – though it seems you won’t now really need to think about it for a very long time. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Sunday Meeting Time Changes.

Musings and Leanings: March 2011
http://musingsandleanings.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 27 March 2011. Janine has made a remarkable recovery from the last cycle of chemotherapy and there has been an unnerving normality to parts of the last week. I feel as though we are in a holding bay. It could just be that that the treatment is over and that we can start to adjust to living in the aftermath of a second cancer. We will find out on the 7. April when we will get the results of the scans Janine will have on the 6. These are good days and days to be thankful for. For those of you snigg...
