bloody chemo is turning me into a zombie red eyes .....look like a lobster... hair falling out and i darent look in the mirror for fear it will crack into a million pieces ....on the up side if i can say there is one im eating for everyone in here and cant decide now what to have for breakfast ......my day is filled with taking my chemo tabs exactly haf an hour after ive eaten..... twice a day..... sickeness tabs 3 times a day ....steroids( thank god are done with now) tramadol for pain in my legs....and my sleeping tablets who my friend told me will knock me out for hours HELLO??? NOT THIS BIRD IM AFRAID!!!

sorry im on a big moany one today but just so bored and fed up think if i got to sleep more i might feel like taking on the world but right now i feel like crap its sunday so the kids have no work and no school so will no doubt stay in bed for the whole day lucky them.... then get up cause bedlam dirtying the house as they go along which ive probably just cleaned up perfectly and laze about on x box live and watching movies on sky....... i have seen every movie imaginable on bloody sky!!!!

right im off boiloed eggs it is for breki im starving....... mrs moany signing out ......perhaps tomorrow i will have managed to sleep better my lobster looks will have faded i will still be bald but hey im still here and thats whats most important !!!

love and hugs everyone promise no more moans for a while thanks for reading this.... positive thoughts all the way

Beat you! Got up at 4:30 watched news and had breakfast at 5:00. Now have to decidee what time to phone the ward to arrange disconnect from infusion of chemo. Big problem is how to decide what time to fir in cooking Sunday lunch.Can't make decisions coz I'm a Libran!

Aw Jen, keep your chin up, you doing so well. It wont be long till chemo finishes and you back on the road to recovery. As you looking like a lobster pretend you just got back from holiday in Fiji ! Sleep - count sheep bet u forgot about that! if that doesnt work pretend you shooting the little f**kers !

Food just keep scoffing you need it for energy, and tell your little cherubs to get out and go to their friends for a few hours = peace for you to put your feet up and doze off x take caren hun, big hugs xxx

Hi Jen, sorry to hear you are fed up, thank god you at least can eat, eat everything you fancy at least it will distract you for a while. I noticed my eyes are redder round the lids so I slapped on more make up! Hope you can get some sleep think if you have enough sleep life is so much easier to deal with. As for the kids staying in bed at least they will be quiet,take care and hope you are feeling abit better soon, you always sound so positive but it wouldn't be normal if you didn't get p'd off every so often. Love p xxx

Hi Jen

Sorry to hear you're feeling so rough. You're right a good nights sleep can help many situations and not having one makes all seem much worse.

Have you thought of applying for a Macmillan Grant, you can get up to £500 more than enough for a new mattress!

Love Max xxx
