I had my three monthly hormone injection yesterday which went smoothly enough. I am still taking the various tablets in addition to this and hoping fervently that they are having the desired effect.
The excess baggage around the waistline is still there and my badly sprained ankle plus the COVID restrictions are stopping me exercising as I would like. I have managed a few games of golf but my painful ankle has meant that the enjoyment was not really there. I have finally visited the physio who has recommended rest and some stretching exercises so hopefully can get back on the course soonest. Also, it looks like the gym/swimming pool will reopen in early May thank goodness. I have also had my second COVID jab a couple of weeks ago with no obvious side effects.
In this phase sometimes it is difficult to believe that you
have cancer as there are no visible signs. Other times, for instance when you
read something in the paper about cancer, it fills you with dread to think what
might be happening inside you. I guess
that this is just the way it is and I try to remain optimistic overall.
I have decided to remain completely open about the cancer
and am not shying away from telling people about it if they ask me how I am. It
seems to work for me while I know others are more secretive. Each to their own I
suppose.
The next milestone is a consultation with the oncologist in
May.
