Visit to Oncologist

I have just got home from an appointment with my Oncologist.  All is well!  CT scan results show things are as good as can be expected.  The secondary cancer is unchanged and is not increasing or spreading thanks to the drug Sutent.  What they are just watching are with the side-effects of the drug, the worst of which are blistered feet and a sore mouth.

This means, of course,  that my sabbatical goes ahead, and starts in two day’s time.  I am feeling really good and looking forward to my period of study leave, although it does seem rather strange not to be focused on day to day parish matters after tomorrow. But I have an excellent curate in Caroline, and I know, and have every confidence, that she will do an excellent job in my absence.

Will blog again on the first morning of my sabbatical.
