Well a month of steroids has passed, and I now have another months worth to take, after a month I have put six inches on my waist but no weight, I have numerous side effects but they tell me there normal.

I am going to have this newish chemotherapy, it has got a name but I dont remember it, its 3 drugs one of which is administered intravenously, 2 in tablet form, it looks fun.

The list of side effects looks grim, I read a couple and ignored the rest.

I have not struggeld as much as I do now since I was diagnosed all those years ago, I still think I am in my last year, my doctor disagrees.

I cannot walk into town which is 3 minutes walk without wearing myself out.

The only good thing is I am painting a lot as my sleep pattern has been destroyed,so I paint at funny times.

I think I am painting some of the best paintings I have ever done, and I am enjoying doing them.

I lose track of time whilst painting, the studio is nearly how I want it,very comfortable so its a good place to be.

Thanks to everyone for there best wishes.

lov to you all

Philip
