Thanks to everyone for the overwhelming response for our plea for drivers, which is very much appreciated. As soon as we know when I can go, I shall get in contact with you.
I have been saving all my energy this week for the big event tomorrow. Very much looking forward to going to the cup final where I hope to see Tottenham Hotspur outclass a dodgy Chelsea side. All the signs point to a win especially as our dog, Ledley, has his 1st birthday tomorrow. I could be a very happy man tomorrow or I could be ignoring the pathetic comments of my mate Bob all the way home, that's if he's still standing after a blow to the head with my portable oxygen cylinder.
The week has had it's ups and downs. The long days take their toll I try to refrain from sleeping during the day so I can maintain my sleep pattern during the night. The worst part of the day is between six and ten for some reason. It's when I feel most tired and agitated. With any illness it seems to be the evening which is the worst. Poor Susan seems to cop the worst part of the day when I am at my most miserable, but she still smiles at me and does everything she possibly can. Inside she must be thinking "you arse" because I am not a good patient (love you Susan). As far as my general condition is concerned I feel pretty good. The pain seems to be under control again and my brother Rod has even managed to ask a top Japanese cancer specialist to look at my case notes and see if the best of the best in Japan can come up with any ideas. I have so many people helping me and giving me support I'm sure I can kick the arse out of this. I am going back to Addenbrookes on Monday to be marked up for my Radiotherapy. Will be interesting to see if the Radiotherapy has a quicker effect than the chemo.
Saturday has been a lovely day, I enjoy the days when Susan doesn't have to work. They actually feel like normal days where we just carry on doing what most people do. It was nice to have my sister Diana and her partner Chris over for lunch. We had a very pleasant afternoon just chatting.
Last night was encouraging, Susan managed to persuade me to go for a walk, which is something I have been reluctant to do, but we managed to walk our dog Ledley to the heath and back. It was probably only about a mile and a quarter and I did have to have a rest when we got to the park while Susan let Ledley off the lead. It was a very slow walk back but I did it and it helped me sleep so it's something I'll try again soon. (that sounds so boring but its such an achievement for me).
Glory, Glory Tottenham Hotspur

Hi Vic, and Susan of course. Glad to hear that you have been out walking, most probably the best medicine you could have, not so sure about the football though, may be better off walking. as you may gather I am not a great footie fan although our Stacey loves Spurs and is an avid football fan.
not too much been happening on the isle of sheep, had lunch with Ian today, he keeps taking me away from my work, thats my excuse anyhow. we have one side of the salon open, and the suncapsules are up and running now, but still a few weeks away from finnishing the other side of salon.
I keep logging on to see how you are every now and then, must say you do make good reading.
We hope you enjoy your day tomorrow just dont start any crowd trouble there,
We do hope to see you again soon on the island as it would mean you were feeling better, look after yourself and susan and keep the writing going,
all the best

Hiya Vic, Just got off the phone with Suz. Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspurs!!! I'm so glad you were there to see it!! Hope you didn't overdo the yelling and use all your Oxygen up! Suz said you had brilliant seats. Now that sounds like a good way to get your spirits up and soaring. Keep the blog going - it's SOOO nice to keep up with your life - all the little details that help us know you're doing ok. Love

THE MIGHTY SPURS ARE VICTORIOUS! Now on to winning the UEFA cup!!!
I've just read a few of your blogs and I was wondering if it took you longer to write them, or whether it actually took you longer to spellcheck them all afterwards? haha
Anyway, I'm sure you enjoyed the match. All the best
Colin Jeffs

Hi Vic,I have at last mastered my techno phobic nightmare... it may not last so make the most of this post! Great to hear that you managed to get out the house,a walk and football! My sister Sandra shares your exhaultation over the win she has always been a huge fan,her boyfriend is a Chelsea fan so possibly didn't share in the excitement (oh well)! My other sister Ann is staying here at the moment and we went for a walk at Knettishall with Meggie dog today. Georgina will be sad to see your 'pretty' hair all gone, however, I am certain it will return! We're off to see my boy in Plymouth this weekend, no doubt a few beers in order! ... hope I can be of some help with the driving and look forward to seeing you both soon.
Love Lesley & David xxx
