I created this blog for all those people who were interested in me and my day to day trials with my illness. I wanted it to be a place I could offload my thoughts and emotions rather like a journal. I have always kept it to my current personal situation except for one comment. I didn't expect many people would actually be interested in this blog but the responses have been overwhelming in their love and support and so helpful during this difficult time for which I thank you all. I also realise how much it has helped others who want to keep in touch but don't want to impose by having to call, text or email which Susan and I find so little time to respond to. It isn't the correct forum for conflict based on a separate issue to my illness so please can it just be used for what it was originally intended. I am too tired and too sick to be able to cope with such negativity. I hope you can all understand my feelings and I would appreciate your personal aspects to other issues be kept away from this setting.
Unfortunately, today has been really hard again, I have been in an incredible amount of pain which is difficult to control at the moment. The radiotherapy makes me so, so tired I can't explain it. I find it hard to walk more than a few steps due to the sheer exhaustion. I wish I could just have a little more energy to get through it. I struggled to get on and off the radiotherapy table again and had to be lifted up by a male nurse. It just gets harder and harder. Having seen the Dr in the clinic and prescribed more pain killers we made our way home. Lets see what happens tomorrow.

Hiya Vic
Have put together a workout program - its one designed for OLD people but I think 43 counts as old(especially as its older than me - (just) ha ha)and it will help you just get back to basics (like making and carrying a cup of tea!) versus making you ready for the Olympic hammer throwing contest!
Will work you up to Olympic status as you improve!
Love to you and Suz

"My Blog"...nicely put.
Not much we can say Vic, wish we could do some of the "hard miles" for you...
Thought I had a crap day until I read your blog,
No pain, No gain... and all that!
And after treatment, all you get is a male nurse to pick you up, not that you would be much trouble to a female one, (especially if you are as knackered as you say).
Hope tomorrow is a better day mate
