I know it currently seems the vogue to "shoot" anyone who mentions the phrase Green Shoots of Recovery, but I think I'm on safe ground. Happy Matt announced today that my overall white blood cell (WBC) count had started to rise. This is normally the precursor to the return of the all important neutrophils which we'll hopefully see in the next couple of days. In fact he actually smiled; maybe he does enjoy his job after all. With these come all sorts of good things like feeling well again, so I can't wait. I continue on GCSF to help them along, but they've removed the Cyclizine from my anti-sick meds to no obvious detriment. (Having written that sentence I had to pause to be sick, so what do I know?)I am begining to be alarmed by my neighbour in the next door room who is issuing horrid groaning noises at all hours of the day and night. Either he is seriously unwell, or this really is like the Tower of old and the poor chap's on the rack next door? Seriously though it is disconcerting, but things are obviously much worse for him than they have been for me so I'll just wish him the speediest possible recovery.
My food intake is still pitiful, and drinking not much better; I get nasty pains everytime I consume anything. I'm also dreadfully tired...today the combined effort of lunch, a shower a poo and a wee knocked me out for over 4 hours!

PS. It wasn't only Brian who posted on the wrong date a certain Auntie who will remain nameless for the moment but if you look back to "Here we go " I think 6th Jan. all will be revealed.

Hi Rory
Lets hope those green shoots get plenty of sun (or perhaps torchlight - nurse! batteries please)
Very pleased that things are starting to happen (sorry can't spell the long medical words)
Lots of love
Iain and Lisa
I will give her a tutorial when I see her at the weekend :)
Fantastic news about your white blood cell count.If eating lunch etc exhausts you then the blog must be like a marathon. However, it is very much appreciated, especially now you are giving us good news.
Love, Chris & Sandra
