saw Dr Hogg at Burnley yesterday.....the lung biopsy showed that it is my breast cancer that has spread..
starting chemo on Friday...they are tablets called..capecitabine and vinorelbine...I haven't had this type of chemo...and i may not lose my hair..so that will be nice...
what won't be nice...I've had the lung drain in a few weeks now and the stitches are out...it's comfy and easy to drain....may now have to be removed, something about it being seen as a 'foreign body' and getting infection....
what will be nice...the chemo will also circulate around my noodle brain and if there are any naughty noodles left up there then they'll get chemo'd as well....
more nice stuff..my macmillan nurse is arranging for me to visit the hospice on Monday's so i can meet other people...and they also do stuff like massages and reiki..( not sure what that is though )...but it sounds good...
the ball gown is comimg along...slowly...cos I've still got steroid eyes....but it looks more like a dressing gown....!!
I've been able to exercise my legs a bit...it really scared me when i fell over...i sleep downstairs now and only go up when it's daylight and i'm proper awake....
i don't mind though cos my settee is the comfiest on the world.....and you know what.....last night i had the best 'dream' ever....my nana was sat with me all night, in her rocking chair, right next to me...cos that's what nana's do..........onwards and upwards.......
