Today we were expecting to be the last chemo. Dave has been blessed at going through the 12 treatments with no hiccups until today. We arrived to find that yesterdays blood test was too low on the white cells to go ahead .This was a bit of an anti climax so we took a trip to the Chew Valley Lake in brilliant sunshine and had a gentle walk followed by lunch.
Although it was initially disappointing not to have completed the course it does mean that Dave now has the potential for 2 fairly recuperative weeks.The later chemos have not really allowed Dave to come up for air before being slugged again.
The title of the blog is also reference to the surprise disc the kids had obtained for Dave (for Father's Day) from Yorkshire TV of 2 Countdown episodes in which he took part in 1982/3. A spritely 31 year old - no grey hair! Very novel viewing - thanks guys. Elaine
And on reviewing, I managed to improve my score on two rounds, so some brain cells must still be working!? Dave

Hi Both
ReplyDeleteLike other friends and family I was saddened to receive your news at Christmas. I then mislaid your letter with the blog address but have now found it so this is my first visit. However, know that you have been in my prayers.
Have read the blog to catch up and it is so full of the heart of God. Such a mixed blessing! He is so faithful.
Dave has done really well to reach this far without chemo being postponed so although disappointing the end is still in sight.
Lots of love to you both
