Sunday and I wake up late with a headache. Once up its toast for breakfast with my morning meds and paracetamol. While I wait for the paracetamol to kick in I create a Moonpig birthday card for the eldest grandson of my youngest daughter. Hopefully it will arrive on his birthday on Tuesday. With the card on its way I start the draft of todays blog. There is little for me to do today apart from riding myself of this headache and preparing for tonights world cup final. Tomorrow is a 28 day jab, B12 and bloods day so I shall prepare for those as best I can. It is a crucial set of bloods as the PSA result will determine whether or not I get to finish the chemo rechallenge or go onto the last cycle, cycle 10. If the PSA is down by a reasonable amount the logic dictates that I should go for cycle 10, if it is not then its probably best to stop, the question is “what is a reasonable amount”. On average I have decreased my PSA score by 0.86 per cycle but the dosage used in the last two cycles has been decreased. My last PSA score was 3.1. The lowest it could get if the average of 0.86 is applied over ten cycles is 1.4. I will be disappointed if my PSA score on tomorrows bloods does not dip below 3. How much is the question, I think I will be pleased if it gets anywhere near 2.5. If it does I will be inclined to go for cycle 10. I stand by my dictum of “the logic is in the arithmetic”.

Spain beat Argentina 1-0, so its night meds and off to bed.
