Still on the Right Lines

A week on from the last clinic and here we go again - back to WGH but this time it's to see Dr. Shand in the GI clinic.
Same routine though - everything's looking good and my weight's pretty much back to normal and the chemo seems to be keeping my UC in check, for the moment at least. The plan for that is still to be decided because he explains that it's possible that the chemo may make some longer term physiological changes and that the UC may be better in the future. We'll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, some new tablets are to be prescribed - DEFINITELY no more azathioprine!!
Once again we chat about what might have been if I had come off them earlier but hindsight's a wonderful thing so there's no point in looking back - just forward to being better.
I'm even spared a blood test today!

With all of that good news and good will, we decide to spend the afternoon in Edinburgh. It's in the paper today that the first of the new tram tracks has been laid. This must be good news for the citizens of Edinburgh because the whole place is a mess at the moment. Roll on 2011 when it's supposed to be finished (if there are no more delays and nobody goes bankrupt) and then maybe you'll be able to turn a corner without the road being closed. The wee woman who speaks on our new Sat-Nav has a sore throat because she always has to tell us about one problem or another!
