Health Update June 2023

There hasn’t been much news to share with you all since March. But in the last few weeks, I’ve had a whole bunch of tests, including blood tests, kidney function tests, and reviews of my medications. Last Monday I had PET scan, that required me to fast for 6 hours before the scan, so after the 2 hour scan I was starving and had to grab some food on the way home. 

The scan went fine, but I won’t get the results myself, as the results will go straight to the multi-disciplinary team to discuss my case when they next meet. 

I’ve since spoken to the nuclear team’s clinical nurse and I’m now on the waiting list, it now looks like my treatment might not start till early August unless a cancellation arises beforehand. We hope and pray for an earlier appointment in late June or early July.

Apart from all the hospital visits and work. I did fulfil my childhood dream of driving a rally car. For my birthday last year, Sue gifted me an experience day voucher and my dream was fulfilled by doing a RallyMaster experience at Brands Hatch race circuit. This was a great experience even if I was knackered afterwards.

I’ve been keeping busy workwise and still feeling fairly optimistic about what lies ahead. Thanks again for all your ongoing support and prayers over these coming months.

    Thank you Neil for keeping me in touch. You might be blessed by a verse which has encouraged me today. It is Psalm 112.7

    Thanks for the update.

    I can see a photo of Sue & you, but not one of you in action at Brands Hatch. Am I being a technophobe!
