So - I don’t have a blood cancer. Had a Skype call with the haematologist from the comfort* of the local clinic. My lymphocytes may be a bit low but he’s eliminated anything sinister, and attributes it to my overall complex conditions.

Blood’s good, kidneys are good, liver’s good and bearing the latter in mind, I’m having a drink.

*Comfort, relative to that not enjoyed travelling to and from Adelaide on a bus.
