Alan, apologies for the delayed reply.
I'm on Immunotherapy at the moment. My oncologist suggested 26 cycles total with a treatment every 2 weeks. I've just completed cycle 17 so 9 to go. I finish treatment in September then it's just a case of 3 high contrast CT Scans next year and all being well 2 CT's the following year and then one final scan beginning year 5. If all goes well I'm considered cured at end of year 5. So it's a long haul but the worst is nearly over. Hopefully your energy levels are improving now. I found drinking lots of water helped rise my energy levels, the downside was I peed a lot.
Well, you're going through it, Melvyn, but hopefully with the end ( and good health ) in sight.

I also am supposed to drink a lot of water ( 3 litres a day!!!) which I don't get too close to........ I understand about the peeing though my waterworks are not back to normal yet.

After 20 radiotherapy sessions I qualified to ring the bell. Just need to get my energy levels up to get back into the workshop.View attachment 53293
Great news Alan hopefully you'll get back to making those lovely pens. Don't know if the heat or not having done anything since cataract surgery and also the fall. But seem to lack the enthusiasm and haven't been back to the shed either for the same time.......
