There hasn't been a lot of progress over the past couple of weeks, except that unfortunately I have had an increase in back pain, so the pain relief options have had to be explored further. 
Today I heard from my oncologist, and I am to start the new immunotherapy infusion drug on Monday. The pain-relief specialist doctor will also see me in Warrnambool on Monday, so it will be good to see what suggestions she has. 

Meanwhile I have had a quiet few weeks, lots of reading, watching cricket and tennis, and even doing dot to dot puzzles (thanks to Sonya and Scott!) 

They go from 1-1000, and you have no idea what they will turn into!

 

Here's a finished one!

 
I've also been inspired by the following story. 
Perhaps it's because my hair is definitely thinning!

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and saw that she had only three hairs on her head. "Great," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today."

So she did, and had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. "Hmm," she said, "I guess I'll part my hair down the middle."

So she did, and had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only one hair left on her head.

"Wow," she said, "today I get to wear my hair in a pony tail." So she did, and had a wonderful, wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that there wasn't a single hair on her head.

"Thank God!" she exclaimed. "I was running out of things to do with my hair!"

Let's be grateful for the things God has given us and have a wonderful day!

Psalm 34:1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
