My Unplanned Sabbatical

A journey with follicular lymphoma

Done

The last black bag has drained into me and I have been separated from the machines that go bing!

I have 6 weeks to regroup before my next raft of tests. I feel good right now which is the norm. I expect to start the usual decent sometime later this evening or in the morning.

Last day ran smoothly with the nursing staff all saying I am way to healthy to be sick! Strange given the tumors in my abdomen but I took it as good sign.

Nice to hear.

I took a couple of happy snaps to mark my last day..

Don’t want to see this sign for a long time.

Or this bag. I sort of love this bag.

Some light reading they handed to me. A change in focus.

    Hi Serg, good to see you’re through another milestone and hope the good feeling continues.

    All gearing up for Olympics over here but we are making our annual trip to Florida.

    We finally sold our old house. Seems like no time at all since we were sat at Heathrow and I was showing you the details on the iPad.

    Hope you’re family are all doing well. Our youngest, Max, has now left school. Great financially but makes us feel old.

    Take care,

    David

    Not for the bag(bad) jokes – it’s in the bag SD! You’ve bagged it!!
    Regardless of poor humour, I’m happy to see that this chapter has come to a close. Hope the weeks and months ahead lead to a clean bill of health.
    Enjoy the last of the school holidays with the girls and hopefully your post chemo days next week will be easy on you.

    • Thanks Karen for your relentless personal and professional support.

      I am looking forward to getting through the next month or so and a return to good health and back to work (when the time is right)!!

    All the best for the next few weeks Serge. Hopefully with the light now brightly shinig at the end of the tunnel that your next few weeks are at least at little less rough than (ab)normal.
