Thursday and I wake into the day of the second Eurovision song contest and a friends daughters birthday. I check my messages and socials and then take my vitals, which remain good enough apart from my elevated heart rate. After some internet research on pre 2007 enduring power of attorney law I get up and dress. As some of my grandchildren are visiting tomorrow for the weekend I put my clothes away and then make breakfast. My morning meds get taken and then I have two days worth of crosswords to catch up on. There is a face to face call with my youngest daughter where we sort out details for the weekend visit. It was good to see my youngest grandson waking up in time to join in on the call. I rest through lunch and see my partner go off to see her mother in hospital with her brother. I listen to “Just a minute” on the radio and move on to draft the blog. The evening is already mapped out as tonight is the second semi final of Eurovision song contest. My contribution is going to be to print out score sheets for the family.

So its going to be a mindless evening during which I shall be drinking a lot of water as tomorrow I have to be up early and visit the GP surgery to have a set of bloods taken. It is these that will tell me if the awfulness of Cycle 7 has been worth it as evidence of a lowered PSA score. A lot needs to be thought about before I take the decision to go for cycle 8 on Friday the 22nd of May.
