Get Connected Day!

Hi again,

I've had a good day today, so I'm getting on with my emails.  My blood test results were good.  My cancer marker has dropped one to 7 & my liver function has improved slightly.  My specialist said to go another 6 weeks until the next blood test & to also get a CT scan done then as I haven't had one since January.  That's a bit scary, thinking I hope no new tumours have popped up, but also it'd be great if it showed smaller or less tumours in my liver.  I've had a good day today as I've kept active washing, ironing & mowing.  I know that doesn't sound terribly exciting but it can be sooo hard to push through the fatigue caused by the depression.  Some days it just gets me down thinking when is this not going to be a struggle any more & also I feel guilt at not being the bubbly active mum/wife I was before & guilt that I have depression when other people with cancer have been through a lot worse then me.  I haven't had surgery or radiation.  Any way here's to a good day.  It's great having this contact with you all & I am trying to go for a 20 min walk each morning to get going & I've cut out an artice from the local paper about some ladies wanting to form a support group in the area. We live in a small beach community 1/2 hr from town.  So that can be isolating & a terribly long drive when you feel lousy.   Hopefully My Journey pack will arrive this week.  I'm also looking forward to hearing what w.a kaz finds out about depression from the conference.

Take Care All :-)
