Oh Happy Days!

Long time no hear. I have looked at blogs quite a lot over the past few months but not added to many. I have been trying to deal with the side effects of chemo, or not as the case maybe now. Not that I am fortunate to be in 'remission' but chemo has been changed from carbotaxol to carbo to carbogem to nothing now because my blood count is non exsistant and my weight has increased dramatically over the past few weeks as has the size of my stomach. Apparently I have a large amount of fluid in my cavity that needs to be drained off urgently! Had an hour and 15 minutes of MRI scan yesterday.... can think of better ways of spending my time! CT next week and draining of the excess fluid. On to top it all I have an ear infection! Oh happy days!!!!! On a happier note I am going away with my dad for a few days in early October and have booked a family holiday for end of October to Dartmoor...... so all the treatment (when they get started again!) can bloody well wait until I'm ready ..... I intended to have some fun in Ireland with daddy and a great time with hubby, kids & their partners, my parents and my brother, my dog Sean and my daughter's dog Millie in beautiful Dartmoor. Well that's enough of me rattling on .... good luck with everybody's treatments, gripes, issues etc. Take care xxxxxx
