I had my first blood test for this year, yesterday, and then I went to see my oncologist. She told me, she would like to see my white blood cell count go back up as she doesn't want me to keep having to have emergency blood tests before my bone injection. She also said, my next scan will be in April.

As no nurse phoned me, last Wednesday, I knew I'd passed my first blood test for this year. The next one will be on the 28th of next month.

My sister and brother-in-law had a meeting with the school, last Wednesday. My niece, Audrey, hasn't been to school since the 3rd of this month and nobody from the school has bothered to phone them to find out what had happened to her. Suddenly, last week, someone from the school started phoning every day to ask why Audrey wasn't in the classroom. My sister reckoned it because someone from Ofsted had been looking at the school's attendance figures and might have seen Audrey's continuing absence from school. Nobody at the meeting could explain why they hadn't bothered to phone beforehand. Also, they didn't know if Audrey would be allowed to sit any exams if she went back. My brother-in-law was going to contact someone connected with the school to find out anymore information on the exams and the new timetable for Audrey. They told me, they would talk to Audrey about giving the school another go for up to one or two weeks. If she didn't like it, she then could leave permanently.

I've read everyone aged 75 and over and the vulnerable could be getting another Covid vaccine soon.

Before I had my bone injection, last Friday, the nurse took my blood pressure. She told me, it was low and seemed a bit concerned about it. But, she didn't seem to be very worried.

I had my blood test, yesterday, which was shortly followed by a hospital nurse phoning me. She believed there would be no problem with the result. I told her, my scan had been booked for the 14th of this month. She believed the result will take sometime as more people tend to have scans round about Easter than any other part of the year. She also believed the nurse will take my blood pressure before the bone injection.

I've got my scan tomorrow.

Covid booster vaccine bookings started today. I'm hoping to get mine soon.

I booked my Covid booster for next Saturday (27th).

Now the forum is back to normal (hooray), I can let people know that I had my Covid booster vaccine and then felt a bit cold before I went to bed that night. During the night, I kept shaking and woke up the next morning feeling very tired and very achy. I still felt a bit achy on the Monday, but soon got over it.

Last Tuesday, I received a letter from the hospital saying the recent scan had shown the cancer was still stable. So, the treatment would carry on. The next blood test is this Wednesday with the bone injection on Friday. But, a hospital nurse won't be phoning me as they expect me to pass the blood test.

I had my bone injection, yesterday, though the nurse was concerned about my low blood pressure and low calcium level.
