The verdict

It's been a long time coming but the latest news is that the 'most likely' from the last post was spot on.

I saw Dr Giri on June 3rd and he told me the scan came back with everything the same size and my blood results were 'perfect'. I was quite relieved. The next scan is in a year's time but I'll have a blood test and see the doctor in a couple of months.

Generally I feel well and mostly have enough energy. I still occasionally get days of fatigue but it is not as bad now. Whereas before I could hardly get off the couch on the worst days, now I can function through the day but it's really hard work to just do the basics such as get breakfast ready.

Most things in my body are back to the way they were. My weight has just snuck under 70kgs, a few armpit hairs have returned and the only thing that's still a bit strange are my eyes which sting and are itchy more than they used to be.

I have started training for the City to Bay and hope to finish the 12k run in 72 minutes this year, we'll see how it goes because I'm not sure I'll be able to haul myself out of bed for training when it's so cold.

I'm cooking for a uni conference next week and am looking forward to a few days away busting my guts in a kitchen for a change. Other than that, our family has been pretty busy and we just try to keep our heads above water.
