Diary of a Mesothelioma Survivor –Looking at Photos of our travels last year and Photos of Canadian Asbestos Mines

Julie my lovely Australian Friend has just announced :-I’m a great grandmother. Amira was born C Section this morning. 9 lb 2 oz. Mum and baby both well. Hope I can see her later on today and post some photos.
I have been able to congratulate them all Rod and Julie and their family. The power of Face Book xxx
It was very damp still as we woke up today but it did get light early and I was awake once my sleepy eyes awoke.
I caught up chatting with friends on Facebook just as they were going to bed after another hot day in Australia and then chatted with Lee in frozen Sweden what a contrast.
I carried on having a lazy Sunday and a late breakfast as I admired my windows, I’m very happy with them.
I have to get a  new blind so I will do that tomorrow, as I have shopping to get again.
Ray got up and he was reading through my blog and has told me that I’m making a lot of mistake’s I think that’s because I do it so late when im getting tired but it is a diary and so you tend to write late at night about what has happened during the day.
We sorted through a lot of photos we have on the computers and enjoyed a few hours of looking back on the year that we had going away in Motorhome .
After lunch we set off again for the dog walk which was a cold one. There wasnt many people out and about as tourist’s or even Sunday visitors stay home in the warm or go to shopping centers spending their hard-earned cash.
I watched a film on Channel 5 when we got back and then it was time for dinner so I made a lovely tomato and cheese sauce to pour over a chicken breast, rice and peas

I hate reading these stories of the asbestos mines

Renal failure

Well, the sickness still continues. My eGFR has now dropped to 11, anything below 15 is considered as stage five kidney failure. I have an appointment with a renal specialist on Tuesday and my GP thinks they will admit me into hospital. I hope they do as it definitely needs sorting out. I am hoping they put me on dialysis to finally clear the remaining chemo from of my blood. 
I have an appointment and CT scan with my oncologist for the mesothelioma due next Friday, I will have to rearrange it if I am admitted to hospital.
We had a good holiday except I was ill for the last four days. The temperatures were up in the 30’s and it was nice to get some sun. I had hoped that the sunshine would help my kidney condition, but it seems to have had the opposite effect.
It is very wearing being ill, especially as I have been being sick since August when I had the first of this round of Chemoembolizations in Frankfurt.

Its a real Shame just another thing to fight and I do hope they sort it all out for her next week.
All the best Ronnie xx
