No, not my Mum's tumor. She was seeing the specialist today, so I should hear something about that tomorrow.

I got a 'phone call from my doctor, telling me to resume the "Iron boosting" injections as of tomorrow morning, while temporarily increasing the dose of diuretics I take pending a discussion with the kidney specialist next week. Oh, and I have to go for a blood test tomorrow morning if they can fit me in.

As long as it doesn't kill me, it's a good thing. Last time I took one of those injections my tiredness almost completely went away. This time I'll try to get some useful "stuff" done, like tidying and hoovering the loiving room for the first time this year.

I watched "Andromeda", "Episodes", "DCI Banks" and a quite dreadful episode of "Helix". Perhaps after the injection I'll have the energy to program my PVR to stop recording it...

OK, so your tiredness (which appears to be debilitating and to have gone on for months) is mainly or even solely due to anaemia? But you can't take iron tablets any more? You might like to mention to your Doc that you can get iron tablets in different chemical formulations - but I don't know anything more because I've just discovered this on Google - there should be a new medical qualification MD(G) - Doctor of Medicine from the University of Google.

I hope you're getting good quality care.

Take it easy.
