a busy weekend

I have been trying to keep myself busy, despite feeling so breathelss and tiring easily. Thursday saw us at the hospital, and my count is down slightly, so a week of treatment again this week. I decided that as the family have been too busy to come down to us we would go and see them all this weekend. I knew my daughter was partying Saturday night, so offered to babysit, and my grandaughters were so pleased, it was wonderful and made my feel worth something again. Mind you by the time I'd got them to bed and done stories I was ready for bed myself!

I suggested we visit my son today, but they wanted a day out, so we all got together in Henley (my daughter and her family, as well as my son and his) and had lunch in Pizza express (I couldn't eat it all), then went to the Wind in the Willows Museum, which the 4 girls really enjoyed. It made me realise just how weary I feel. Is it just because I'm out of condition, or is it the cancer? Whatever, I wish it would get better as I am now feeling depressed, which I haven't felt in the 4 years since I've been bad. My hair is falling out, which is not helping, the leaflets say hair thinning after the 2nd treatment. Mine is coming out in handfuls after 1 - what happens next? I'll ask tomorrow when I'm at the hospital.... at least it gives me something to do all week!

Hi Greybadger,

You have to look after yourself and not over do it.

So feet up a nice cuppa and a biscuit. All the best and good luck.

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

It's probably a bit of both, I'm trying to get fit again, but you gotta build yourself up to it, I was just getting there this time last year when I had to start chemo again, so I'm starting early this time lol......start with short walks and build it up a little at a time

Remember my lovely the I am kicking arse along side you with many more following suit. Rest when you need to, even I have learnt to do that, it is hard going at times, ups and downs, we have come this far and we can go on. Thinking of you love, you take care...love Carol xx

Hi Viv,

I finished my chemo three weeks ago and I feel quite weary when I go out. It doesn't stop me but If I need to sit down, I do. It is lovely to see family, but if you are not quite up to days out I am sure they will understand. Concentrate on taking care of yourself and the best of luck with treatment this week.

Love and hugs,

lizzie xx
