    Been to chemo today, my penultimate session.

    Having had an extra week off I was feeling really chipper.  Downside of that extra week off is that, my body seems to crash so much quicker when I do get the chemo, like today. As A pointed out a bit of a double edged sword.

    I drove Bob there.  Couldn't find a disabled spot so had no choice but to park in multi storey where you have to pay and display.  £7.70 for over 5 hours…

    Good evening,


    Following a brief hospital stay last night I am in my own bed watching a program called 'The making of you', it has made me reflective.

    Hopefully the stent change will mean an end to the pain I was experiencing on my right hand side.  I also have a date for a head scan, Dr Oncologist rang me the day after I spoke to my Macmillan…

    Morning everyone,

    I am sitting up in bed wide awake with acid indigestion thanks to the chemo watching yet another history programme while the household continues to knock out the Zzzzs.

    It doesn't matter though because I have you lot to talk to and when it is quiet I can order my thoughts better.

    The chemo effects are building up and I almost always feel nauseous again despite the four different types of anti sickness…
