The oncologist has altered the dosage of the drugs again. Today onwards I only have one tablet to take tonight whereas before it was several three times a day. Thank goodness for that; I hate taking tablets!

That is good news DL. I am SO very happy to know that things are improving for you.
My d-i-l had to go back to the hospital a week ago because she has been on Tamoxifin? tablets because as you probably know she has had her breast off.
They were going to do more genetic testing on her and after she had prepared herself for two days before the op, which involves using a special liquid to shower yourself with including washing the hair for two days previous to an op to kill off any MRSA bugs.
She was already in the hospital gown ready for the probing of her womb when the surgeon said he wasn't touching her because she had not been bleeding, which the tablets could cause and he wasn't going to upset her body system if she had got no signs of any upset there.
My lovely d-i-l said she couldn't get dressed quick enough to get out.
She goes back again in three months.
I have to do the same thing next week in regards of the showering with the special liquid before I go for the recorder op next Wednesday. Never a dull moment.

DL - Wonderful news and sign of good progress, down to one tablet 
Glad to hear that hospitals now take better precautions against MRSA and other so called 'superbugs'. I hope the message is finally getting to medical personnel, who caused most of the problems, in the first place, through sheer negligence.
Not like the olden days, when all hospitals were run by Hattie Jacques, with rods of iron and enema cannulæ

Visited the oncologist again last week (appointment brought forward a week because she is not going to be there next week). This meant no blood test because it is not close enough to the Chemo.
However, the hospital have rung me and told me to get it done on Tuesday at my local surgery. A much more satisfactory idea.
However, I did have the X-Ray I was asked to get and Dr Frim is thrilled to bits with it - she kept saying "Excellent" over and over again. She gave me paper copies of the X-Ray I had in June and the one the other day. On the first you can see the blockage from the fluid on the right lung and the second is totally clear!
In the meantime, YG and I are going to the theatre on the 17th and I am going to try to walk up the stairs to the dress circle, for a performance of "The Rivals - Penelope Keith and Peter Bowles.
Then on the following week I am lunching with old school friends at one of their houses. This involves a long, steep garden path with steps. Think I will be able to climb it!

Way to go Rosemary. Thrilled for you. 
Incidentally if you ever have trouble getting to the surgery for a blood test, the District Matron or a paramedic can come to your home and do the deed there. We had to do this several times for Gina.

Thanks folks!
VM - thanks for the info about the home blood tests. I didn't know that but will bear it in mind in case I ever need it!

Sorry, I am late catching up. Had Charlie for two days, which are always impossible times for logging in. Then today there is this great news, DL.
May you have continuous recovery in this way - and enjoy the theatre!
