A Very Hot July

Well it has been the hottest July for many years and boy I am glad to say that I am feeling well.

My last CT scan did not show any scaring from the HCC and my liver function has improved by almost 10% from before I was diagnosed with HCC.

I still suffer from depressed moments every now and then especially when I have people say how well I look and I must be getting better only to tell them that I still have a long road to travel before I can honestly say I am better.

Trying to explain that HCV lives in your blood quietly destroying you slowly but surely can be a real pain sometimes so I have made up a pack of literature taken from the web and other sources so when I have someone look at me with some disbelieve I can just allow them to read this and get a better understanding of what I am going through.

The X-Ray department and Kings College Hospital is arguing with the Liver Department at the moment because they want to reduce the number of scans I am having from quarterly to half yearly. The Liver dept wants to keep it at quarterly so if there is even a slightest chance of HCC returning then they want to know about it.

Currently I am on Holiday or at least the last few days of my two week holiday and in this time I have attended the funeral for one of my relatives and attended the Graduation of my niece. Most of the plans I had like sorting out my Home Office and redecorating it has gone west because it has been so warm this has sapped what little energy I had from the rest. Still it is better than last year when I kept on having time off work because of treatment which did leave me drained of all energy.

Well I will leave this for now and return when I have something to say.
