Had my first ABVD session on Tuesday and have felt rubbish until this morning. It was the day of noggin measurements in readiness for the loss of my hair. My two bestest buddies came with me and I laughed so much my face still aches (not helped by the sore tongue in my mouth!).
Its been a good day and I actually feel like me today. Gearing up for a trip to work on Monday so wish me luck!
I'm putting on a brave face as my family have been through so much (my big sister had almost 2 years out with severe chrons disease and is just now back to normal at the time when I have been diagnosed with classic HL nodular sclerosing stage 3 B).
My i'm on my own this morning and I am not feeling as brave or positive. I know my prognosis is very good but am so worried that the chemo is going to kick me around…
I had about 18 months of catching every bug going and became really run down - I had (and still have) itchy skin, a persistent cough, night sweats, fatigue and miraculously lost 9kg without realising it. They thought I had allergies, asthma and then thyroid. In January 2010 my glands in my neck were swollen and didn't disappear this is when the gp thought thyroid. I wasn't happy with this so went to the senior gp…
