Have finally started my treatment after one slight hiccup.

Had my first injection and was a little shaky last night but managed to get a pretty good nights sleep and although I could have possibly returned to work this morning I decided to take another day of rest to make sure I can see the last of the sides off.

It was not all good news yesterday as my AFP readings have started to rise steadily into the "lets be concerned" area and the last CT scan I had showed a 2cm lesion in segment 8 of my liver. Because of this the continuation of my treatment is in doubt.

Have received a phone call in the last hour from the CT dept of Kings College Hospital (KCH) and they have arranged to bring my July appointment forward to next Monday (11th June) at 10:30 which is the same day as my appointment with the nurse at 15:00 and where I will badger him for the viral count from the blood test I had yesterday. Unfortunately the results from the scan will not be available for the appointment in the afternoon unlike the Ultrasound. At least this will not affect my work as I am on two weeks holiday starting this Friday.

I will need to find somewhere comfy to sit down for a couple of hours between appointments but it may give me the incentive to have a little walk around the area as I normally only walk from the train station to the hospital and back again and if the weather is nice there is a park near by that I may be able to hang around in without getting arrested.

Unless my thoughts become that black that I need to write them down I will update this BLOG next Tuesday.
