Monday and day one of half term and also day one of my 5th cycle of Temodal. 8am I swallowed one tablet granisetron an anti-nausea tab, 9am 240mgs of Temodal went down with glugs and glugs of orange squash (I go off hot drinks) and still the nasty toxic backdraft reaches your tastebuds. So through screwed up face, I drink more squash. One hour later I can have breakfast, so two slices of toast and butter and 2mgs Dexamethasone…

I dunno really maybe because they are were the only times I went out to begin with.....of course I know I want them to see me at my best and marvel at how well I look etc…
Thursday everybody organised and out of the house for school and work and I am left sitting drinking a cup of tea while reading the blogs on here and checking on my FB pals. Tony texts to remind me to phone Kim my specialist nurse and check my bloodtest results. This saves us a wasted trip to Romford and Tony a days holiday from work. Kim tells me there isn't too much highlighted in yellow, orange or pink (which is…
