Latest Health Update

Good news for a change. The hospital consultants have had a meeting about my leukemia and as it seems stable at present there's no immediate need to start treatment just yet. (Having chemo too early would be less effective for CLL).

I won't post any more updates about it until there's any significant deterioration. At present I'm feeling good apart from some fatigue now and then. 

My thanks to those of you who sent me your good wishes. There's no cure, and I'll need treatment at some point, but at the moment I'm taking this as a win. (I won't say "positive news" as that's the last phrase anyone should use about cancer!)

Health Update

The hospital told me last week that I'll have to start treatment for my leukemia in a few weeks. They're having a meeting first to decide which treatment would be best.

As I get more fatigued now and will have to be wary of infections I've reluctantly withdrawn from any conventions I had scheduled. 

 

If the treatment helps and I feel well enough I hope to attend some shows later on in the year. There's no cure for this blood cancer (CLL) and I'll be on medication for the rest of my life but hopefully I'll show some progress.

It's not a decision taken lightly and I'll miss my comics friends very much as you mean a lot to me.
