Oct 27 what now?

I am going to keep this one nice and short

Not a lot to report, at the last meeting I had only lost 1.5 kg, so that was good (mind you 27kg for the year!) On the down side, my Hemoglobin is only 91 and if below 90 I no longer qualify for treatment, so they want me to have a blood transfusion in the next week or so. I really don't want this but what choice do I actually have? Of course I expect to have a rare reaction. Doctor's curse....And with my luck, the next scan will show enough tumour growth to pitch me off the trial anyway so it will be all for nothing. Optimistic bastard aren't I?

The oncologist was also agreeable to support me if I decide to go down the voluntary assisted dying pathway. Which I suppose is nice, I'm not ready for it just yet, but I asked anyway. Plus, it raises a whole lot of religious and ethical issues I need to sort out. Mind you, in the next breath I was offered morphine for my pain that I am getting along my right side, especially coughing or breathing deeply. Well, after my codeine experience you can guess my response. No flipping way. The oncologist wondered why I was snarling...For the record, I ditched the codeine and going to the toilet no longer ends in screaming. So life is good
