Saturday and my first day of freedom from a tablet regime. Friday was fabulous and I should be feeling even better..........should be. I feel like I am singing Paula Abduls Opposites Attract song ♫ I take two steps forward - I take two steps back ♫. Once again the dreaded constipation monster has arrived at my house. You'd think after 5 cycles I would see the warning signs and remember to take the senna tablets wouldn…
Friday and its day 5 in the chemo house (said in my best big brother accent) and I woke feeling pretty good like every other morning.....but what had the day in store for me?! Had set the delay timer on the washing machine before I crashed into bed the night before, so hung out the laundry and realised that although Tony had put the recycling bin out.....he hadn't emptied the kitchen caddy into the food caddy and put…

Fed the garden birds and cleared up the poop and checked on the fish in the pond, all's well in my little patch of wilderness. Time for the chemo tabs and more glugs of orange juice but I've only managed two…
Tuesday day two of cycle 5 and it started out pretty good. I am even doing well on keeping my fluids up by 9am I had drunk 3 large Coca Cola Glasses of orange squash. Of course there is a downside to this, I am constantly running to the bloomin loo - thank goodness we have a downstairs toilet. Todays photographic intermissions come from Jimmy's Farm in Suffolk August 2008, I love Jimmy Doherty and watch most of his tv…
