It's been a while

Howdy everybody! Long time no speak.
My last post ended with me talking about having a lumbar puncture, so I cant think of a better way to start this post than to tell you how it all went.
On tuesday, I had starved for the anaesthetic and was in the waiting room ready to be knocked out. When I was called in, my original plan was to rap the theme tune to "the fresh prince of bel air". However, when I got onto the operating table, they silenced me with an oxygen mask. I wasn't going to be beaten and so decided to do my Darth Vader impression. Maybe I was a bit too drugged up to know any different, but I think they found it hilarious! They even let me keep the mask after the operation as a souvenir!!The results of the lumbar puncture and bone marrow tests were clear and good.
I had my chemo over the next few days and then was ok to go back home. I felt very well in myself, didnt feel too sick or have headaches. Tiredness was the main issue with me, I felt like I had been hit by a bus for most of the time.
I sat one of my GCSE's whilst I was in hospital too. It was a science paper, which wasnt too bad. I thought it was pretty difficult considering I was so tired, but I dont think I did too badly in the exam itself. So no complaints.
I am currently having the same cycle of treatment again after 3 days break at home. I will probably be feeling even more tired after this bout, so I hope its not too long before I am well enough to post again.

Thats pretty much it for now guys, speak again soon
