No blogging for the past few days because I have been so unwell. Yesterday, I was aslep for 20/24 hours. It was only pain or diarreah that woke me up. I phoned my oncologist theis morming and he suggested a dose reduction. My chemo-brain was so bad that I could not work out the dose of capecitabine I was taking. 500 mg x 10 was beyond me.
I have reduced the dose by 20% and today I have felt much better. I have actually sat for an hour in the garden under a clear blue sky; the first time I have been outside for many days.

Sorry to hear you have been so unwell.
Sitting outside warming your bones and connecting with god will do you the power of good.
Obviously the reduction in dose will help enormously too.
Keep safe, continue to improve. You are in my thoughts and prayers

Your periods of silence speak volumes, so it is very reassuring when you muster enough energy to post an update.
May the sun shine warm upon your face and God hold you in the palm of his hand.
I, too, am sorry to hear you have not been feeling well. I will continue to pray for you. So grateful for you, your work, the way God has worked in your life, and the way God made you to be so intrigued by CLL. You are a blessing to me and so many others.
