    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 found it an enormous relief to be able to talk to someone about my feelings.’ Talking about your cancer may be one of the most helpful and rewarding things you choose to do. Putting fears and feelings into words helps us understand them better and leaves us feeling more in control...

    So, having dreaded being laid up in bed over Christmas, I am so glad to report that I had a great one and ate all my christmas dinner and even managed some Buck's Fizz and mojitos! Despite the disruption of flooding and bugs, all my children managed to travel to me and they wouldn't let me lift...

    I have rested completely over the last couple of days and thankfully my blood count had gone up this morning when I had a blood test. I was so nervous about having a cannular put in, but the PICC line specialist that saw me on Monday, came and did it herself and although I found it stressful, it was...

    It's been an eventful week since I posted my last update! I had my hair cut into a very short pixie crop a week ago today and it started to fall out on Saturday morning. I washed my hair and my hands were full of hair as was the plug hole. I thought I was mentally and emotionally prepared for it...

    I'm feeling ok considering what's been pumped into me! I still feel nauseas in the night and on waking, but I'm fine once I start taking the anti sickness tablets in the day. The steroids make me feel restless, which is not a good combination when I feel so tired!!! My middle daughter came...

    As I'm a few months down the road on my cancer journey, I will fill in the gaps prior to today. I so wish that I had started this earlier as my friends suggested! I am 54 years young, with three grown up children. On Monday 3rd September 2012, I visited my GP, with concerns about a breast...

    What a week! From the beginning of Eden`s treatment, we were told that this period of intensification would be hard....and by God, it has lived up to all dreaded expectations. For me, it started with a call from Jemma telling me that they were on their way to the local hospital as Eden...
