8 down 26 to go

1 minute read time.

Cant believe how many people are amazed that i am still working, as i have always said this disease is not going to control me, while i can still stand the sore mouth and keep eating then i will continue to work each friday i get to during the treatment the better i feel knowing that Sat & Sun i get respite from the zapping, dont know what i will feel like in phase 2 but we will take it one day at a time.

Everyone is different and can cope with treatment in different ways, maybe its my attitude towards cancer not letting it get to me. Maybe i'm just stubborn or i love my job and don't like letting anyone down.

With the treatment being in the late afternoon i just go home and bathe and rub the cream on and fall asleep, only to be woken up by my GF with my dinner, then its meds time then off to bed. Thank god for Virgin media V+ box it means i dont miss my fave progs as they are all being recorded for when im ready to watch em

Take care everyone and keep the comments coming i do read em, but dont reply to em all

    Hi Al, I too approached my Treatment with a positive attitude,loved my job and like you I am as stubborn as a horse! I stayed on my two albeit wobbly legs for my 35 fractions of RT however Chronic Fatigue set in after my treatment had ended.It was so bad,I could not even lift my head up from my pillow. Another reason to slow down is your Immune System. It takes a big nose dive, even a slight cold can have an adverse effect.You take care of yourself and do not push yourself too hard,eh!

    Big hugs, Alison.x
