December

The good news from the hospital this week is that I still don’t need to start chemotherapy and that I won’t have to go back for more blood tests and general proddings until December. Hurrah!

The only slight concern has been with my ALT blood tests that are reading slightly over normal. As a result, I’m now using the Drinkaware app to help me keep a closer watch on what I’m drinking. I’m not a heavy drinker, but I probably have been enjoying a glass or two of wine rather more frequently than I should have been doing. I’m pleased to report that signing up to the app has helped me to achieve three ‘no alcohol’ days so far this week and that I’ve consumed a miserly 1.6 units since Monday.
