Twelfth and final Chemotherapy session starts this week, Tuesday 21st February, I have already had the telephone call from the nurses confirming my appointments for next week for taking bloods and Chemotherapy sessions start times, now looking forward to the end. I can't wait to get to the CT scan following my treatment, I feel my life is a little bit on hold until I get these results.
Wendy was owed some leave, so we have taken a few days out. My father, who is 93 years young is not very well and has confined himself to bed !! so we took the opportunity to visit the south coast for a few days, staying with our friends Bill & Trish (Thanks once again you guys). My father has some kind of mass growing in his stomach but this will not be investigated due to his age. He is quite perky when not sleeping and can still hold a conversation but soon drops of to sleep after. He is being well looked after by my Mum and Sister.
Lots of mentions by people having seen the television campaign for Bowel Cancer it has obviously got the message out there. I have previously blogged that it is important to keep oneself busy during these times. With this in mind, I recently entered some of my artworks (Pastel & Chalk) into a local request for works to be exhibited in http://corbyopen.yolasite.com/ originally set up to show local artists work, it was calling for works to be sent for consideration. Out of three submitted, I was successful with one, a picture of a charging elephant !!! inspired by my trip to Addo elephant park in South Africa many years ago. I have also volunteered to help set up the exhibition. It should keep me out of mischief for a few days and pass the time waiting for my scan and surgeon appointment!!!

Hey John as I have said before, you are a very courageous man worthy of having a charging bull elephant etching in the Corby art exhibition. You are in our prayers every night. All our love the Ozzie Tribe
John, does a charging Elephant look different to a free one?
I feel that we should be told.
