Its now day 7 after my 5th chemo (Docetaxel) and i am so encouraged its better than the last one where I literally wanted to die!
The limb pain is there but being numbed by painkillers, the mouth is just starting to get sore, and the numbness in my toes isnt scary once you know it wont last. feeling down is still a bugger because trying to hang onto perspective is hard!
Also if one more person says 'hey you look fantastic, so well' when I feel so poorly and its just the makeup I will crumple and cry. Nice thought but doent help.
I think the worse thing is this disgusting taste that i cant get rid of - any ideas anyone?
thats where we are up to! thanks for reading x
