Just feeling a bit sorry for myself today, should be on my 'good days' this week and instead am full of cold - boo! Had got rid of the jitters over the weekend which was immediately replaced by toilet troubles, they finally subsided yesterday afternoon only for this bliskin cold to start, what a mare! Suppose I should be thankful that this is the first cold I've had really, think I just got used to my chemo pattern and got into expecting the good days instead of hoping for them.
Cold feels like any other old cold I've ever had apart from the usual aches and pains that linger anyway and there is no temperature but rang hospital this morning for advice as I am going into period where bloods will be low. Am to monitor today and just watch out for high temps and am going in tomorrow for blood test which I think will give an idea of if I can fight this off on my own or not. Feels kinda wrong going to hospital just because of a cold but am scared of it turning into something else if I just leave it. Was relieved when told I'd done right thing ringing in for advice.
Anyway moan over......going to have a nice cup of tea now x
