Easter 2008

A mild case of the jitters last month. I had a CT scan, partly routine, and partly because I had had a few night sweats. The CT showed thickening of the colon at the site of the original lymphoma, and the associated lymph node was enlarged. It looked very much as though I had relapsed and I was sent off for a colonoscopy. Dee and I had a real scare and it was a bit like it was just after I was diagnosed.

However the colonoscopy was completely normal, as were the biopsies taken. Steve Palmer concludes that the radiologist was playing it super safe over the lymph node. I have a follow up CT in 2 months but I'm confident it's a false alarm, though I don't think I'll ever stop looking over my shoulder...

I've started driving again, which is a great boost for my independence (and Dee's, as she now no longer has to taxi me around the place).

Easter at Taupo Bay, where it's still summer.
