Sunday started as a 7/10 day and ended as a 9/10 day - I felt pretty tired in the morning but perked up in the afternoon (probably because it involved going out for a cup of coffee and a slice of cake!!)
Today is a 9/10 day. Went to work - short hours (11am - 3pm) as per usual now - which is suiting me really well. The care I'm getting from work is amazing; they're bending over backwards to ensure I don't feel stressed, that my "needs" are accommodated and that they give me as much support as they can.
Second appt at the Christie confirmed as this Thursday - CT scan, kidney function tests for the Cisplatin, and whatever else they decide to do to me whilst I'm there. I still wish treatment was happening, but at least I have little mini-goals and landmarks to look forward to.
It might sound weird to say I'm looking forward to radio and chemo but the way I see it, it will make me better. No doubt there'll be days when I feel rough and tired and generally yuk, but as long as I remember the bigger picture then I can be strong.
