Monday 4th May - The Magic Number

Hello friends and family,
Apologies - for not taking the time to write to you.

Johnny is doing incredibly well, given his current health.
Two more regimes of chemo to come - one tomorrow and the following week.  CT Scan scheduled for the middle of May for further results. 

We are still with limited energy.  Bursts of enthusiasm are suddenly hit with a "I need to lie down". 
Long sleep in's are a must, every day should  be a Sunday sleep in for him.
His love affair with a Sunday Roast Chicken is over - chicken currently tastes metallic, no matter which way I cook the chicken it is just not appealing to his palette.   

There is a magic number for the CA19's it's "35". 
That is our aim.  We would like to get to 35, but only if Johnny's body can handle it.
A couple of weeks ago the number was in it's thousands.
Last week the number was 241.
Tomorrow we shall find out if his current CA19 has dropped  or climbed.
