Three Tattoos

It has been a while and one or two folk have requested an update so here we go.

Progress has been steady and energy levels rising. This is all as expected. When folk see me they always comment as to how well I look. In fact I have retained my usual colouring throughout; I always look well, unless I am very tired. I sometimes think when the time comes for me to lie in my box someone is bound to say 'doesn't he look well'!

Yesterday I had a CT scan and three tattoos. These are tiny location points (no eagles or tigers!!) to help the alignment of the radiotherapy that is now scheduled to begin on 7th June. The radiotherapy course of treatment will be 5 days per week for 6 and a half weeks.

As the treatment progresses there is likelihood of various alterations in bodily functions; I won't embarrass you with the details but there is likely to be further dip in energy levels. We continue to look to the Lord for his hand on the whole process. Thank you to all who care and pray; we are in your debt but my Patron will surely repay it! Love to you all.
