    Hallo again! I'm one of those people who has lifelong problems with certain drugs and foods. Mostly, my anaphylaxes (which is a severe form of allergy which is life-threatening therefore I have to avoid certain drugs) are fairly common; things like Penicillin and Elastoplast. But, unfortunately...

    This is probably only going to be of interest to me! I seem to be becoming more navel-gazing as the days go by but, even if this blog serves only as a record for me to look back on, that's ok! I was diagnosed with leukemia about a year ago. I'm never sure in things which have public viewing...

    My sixth and last FEC chemo was on the 22nd April. The side effects hit me harder again this time, but here I am nearly two weeks on and I'm slowly recovering and I am feeling better each day. The sun is shining and that always makes you feel better! The hypnotherapy sessions to tackle my needle...

    Hi folks I start chemotherapy on Tuesday 2 April 2013, something I would assume all of us thought and hoped we would never have to face. I decided to start this blog to give me something to do something to focus on if things became difficult. However talking to other I thought that maybe my story...

    Phew, the weeks are still whizzing by! I had chemo number 5 last Friday and thankfully the cannular went in first time, so no tears or shaking from me for a change. I told my youngest daughter, that my appointment was an hour later than it was as I didn't want her to witness the distress I get...

    I can't believe how fast time is passing! Chemo number 4 came and went on Friday 8th Feb. My veins are not playing ball as they are painful after previous chemo's, so after two attempts a doctor was called and the canular had to go in on the inside of my arm. I'm still trying to find a local...

    Sorry about the gap between posts . Where was I? Part-way through a course of chemotherapy for CUP (cancer of unknown primary) in chest and throat lymph nodes ... and I suddenly realised it's been four months of treatment, and a right drag at that. I think I've been fortunate. I've had a...

    I quite enjoyed today... if such a thing is possible. I took myself off to my chemotherapy, with a bottle of water and a book I wanted to finish (One Man and his Bike by Mike Carter if you're interested..it made me laugh out loud and spit sandwich on my knee). I got a corner chair, took my...

    FEC chemo number 3 under my belt, yay! It was touch and go as to whether I would get to the hospital last Friday after a very heavy snowfall in Cardiff. Having had my chemo delayed the week before due to my low blood count, I was determined to get my chemo! I even googled how long it would take me to...

    Where has the last few weeks gone!! Well I'm glad to report that Cinders did go to the New Years Eve ball in the end! I managed to get a last minute place on the day, so hurriedly packed my posh frock and sparkly bandana and checked in at the hotel with my six friends! I had a couple of glasses of...
