I think that now I’m officially recognised by the NHS as vulnerable. Received an email from them a couple of weeks ago, and recieved my lateral flow kits last week. Dr’s surgery txt Monday for me to book my booster. Jabbed Monday evening 
5th jab.

Great news @Gary it has taken long enough, hasn’t it.
How are you doing now?
Look after yourself
Hello @Erica. I’m ok thanks. Having counselling through the NHS now, which is helping. Finally retired from the Fire Service and all settled. A big stress done and dusted.
Now time to concentrate on me.
Hope you’re keeping well.

Oh @Gary after all that anxiety, stress and hassle that you could have done without I am so pleased that you are finally retired and it has been settled.
I am glad that you have been able to access NHS counselling.
Yes, now it is your time to concentrate on what you want to do and with whom.
In Rod Stewart’s words ‘Love the life you lead and lead the life you love’.
Enjoy yourself you deserve it.

Hello Nichola, I’m doing ok thanks. Finally starting to get my head around everything, and starting to enjoy retirement. I had an MRI head scan a month ago. My Neurologist said that he couldn’t believe how well I’ve responded to the treatment. Full body PET scan last week and today my Oncologist said that there was no sign of further progression. The side effects seem to be calming down, just fatigue and little strength. I can live with that. 
for the future.
Hope you’re well and thanks for asking

It sounds as though things are going in the right direction and I’m really pleased for you. Hopefully the side effects will continue to improve

Great to hear from you @Gary, gosh you are certainly being monitored, which is great.
I am glad that your side effects seem to be calming down.
Please look after yourself and slowly build up your strength.
Be kind to yourself

I definitely can’t complain at the level of treatment I’m receiving, although all the hospital appointments at the moment seems like a full time job!

@Gary I find all medical appointments absolutely stressful and exhausting. Look after yourself
