Re:

Rightyho, an update on my treatment:

My 10th and final Chemotherapy cycle commenced on Friday at WBCH, and then the Chemo Pump was removed on Sunday after the last of the infusions that takes 48 hours. The PICC Line was removed yesterday – ouch!, so that is me done for now – hurrah.

I see Oncology face to face at the RBH at the end of July, with just a blood test result, but no Scan just yet.

I currently feel a bit whacked out, but overall pretty good I reckon. It’s a bit sad to think that I may not see some of those Nurses again who were treating me. One in particular wanted to see my motorbike….. and have a go on the back :shock: . She is in her 60’s, and quite some character, and very Rock ‘n’ Roll. I told her that my Kawasaki isn’t really suitable for a passenger, and that she should find someone who has a more comfortable touring bike. Anyway, she still wanted to see it, so I rode it round to the hospital today for her .

There's another video compilation on YouTube called "Fat people on motorcycles" - oh my goodness, is that a ZX6R under there :shock:

My recovery from six months of Chemotherapy is a bit inconsistent, so I don’t know from one day to the next how I may feel. My Macmillan Nurse said that this is entirely normal, and told me not to plan ahead - just do whatever I can from day to day.

With that in mind, I thought that I would be up for a ride out on the Kawasaki yesterday. I set off due South down the A34 with the idea that I could get down to the coast. It soon became apparent however that I wasn’t comfortable riding the bike, and I was struggling to relax and put into action all the advice that I have been given. Considering I managed 50 miles in one outing last week, I did feel a bit miffed. I do have to listen to my poor little body though, and if the strength and stamina isn’t there, I just have to accept it.

Anyway, I pulled off at Whitchurch and headed across country towards Kingsclere. I stopped at White Hill near Watership Down to eat my sandwich – this picture is sort of overlooking the edge of the Sydmonton Court Estate, which is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s gaff.

Re:

Good to see you and the bike out enjoying the weather

Hope you improve so you can get some consistency of knowing how you'll be.
