The health situation overall, continues well, with no major instances or side effects.

The nails on my fingers and toes continue to ‘evolve’, with the finger nails almost ‘grown out’ and will be interesting to see how the old nails end up, when they have reached the top. There is a clear distinction between them and the newer nails underneath. The toe nails are more concerning, as the big toe nails are badly discoloured, but still intact; we’re watching them closely.

Tiredness once again kicked in towards the end of the week, especially Saturday. However, I was engaged in some chores / activities around my house and my daughter’s, so unsure how much they impacted that?

The main challenge over the past week has been psychological / mental. I had a liver ultrasound mid-week, with the scanner operator taking multiple screen shots during that. Have no idea of the significance of what he done, but will hopefully find out mid-month, when I see the Oncologist. Currently, my mind is fearing the worst and it is a feeling I cannot shift. That is playing havoc in my mind, dominating my thought processes throughout the day and night.

I was also booked in to have a CT scan on Saturday, with the time being changed from morning to evening the day before. Upon arrival, the hospital was like a ghost town with reception closed (did not know where to go), the automated booking in system non-operable and a need to try to find a map to determine where I should be. After wandering around aimlessly for a bit, managed to track down a nurse in a ward, who directed us to a specific waiting area. We arrived ahead of time and proceeded to wait there up to our appointment time, then beyond that. Still no sign of anyone and after walking around to the same place where I had a previous scan, determined that it was locked up and no lights on, etc. We continued to wait more than 1 hour after our appointment time, with no further signs of life or activity. We decided to leave around that point, as we considered that there was no-one there at all; I will phone on Monday morning to rearrange / discuss the Saturday situation.

That will complicate things, as I do not think they will have time to conduct the CT scan and get the results to the Oncologist, for the appointment next week? It may be a case of having to ask him to push that appointment back. It is a key appointment, as the results of both scans should be discussed, which could then change my overall situation? However, it is a case of, I need to see him, but I do not want to see him……..I need to see him, but I do not want to see him…….I need to see him, but I do not want to see him…….That is the current ‘battle’ going on in my head; we will see what unfolds regarding a new CT scan appointment and then how that may impact the Oncologist meeting date and time.

Once again, thanks for the ongoing support, interest and continued direct messages and comments, really appreciated.
