Well yesterday, someone said to me about downloading some talking books for when I wake up in the night time. I downloaded a relaxation session plus a couple books too. It was so hard finding something who's voice wasn't going to iritate me when listening to it. So I had Robert Powell reading Capitain Corelli, plus this meditation one. I have some Bluetooth headphones that are like a headband so quite easy to use in bed. By 1am I was seeing if this person's theory worked. I tried the relaxation one first, and I did manage to get back to sleep until just before 3am, so I put the book on second and finally dozed off again, so it did work a little bit. I woke again at just before 6am and decided to give up and went down, made a drink and watched some TV. I might have slept longer if it wasn't for this head cold.
I rang chemo depth and informed them about my head cold, I haven't a temperature and I tested negative for covid. They informed me as long as I feel the same in the morning my Chemo can still go ahead as all my bloods came back good this week. I also mentioned I had noticed a couple little itchy spots just under the edge of my dressing which I have to mention again tomorrow. I'm so glad that this head cold hasn't jeopardised my treatment. I have had it since Monday so shouldn't last much longer, especially when the chemo gets in my system.
Made some more meals for the freezer today, and got up-to-date with the laundry, etc. Had a rather pleasant day doing odds and ends.
Well just had a shower and washed my hair, to save doing it in the morning. So day 14 after my first EC my hair is starting to fall out, not horrendous yet, but I think this weekend might be the time I get my crew cut done. I have a bottle of procecco on ice,to have while we do it, so I might have to wait until I'm allowed alcohol.
So tomorrow will be the start of my second EC, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll have same, side effect wise as I haven't suffered to badly at all so far. I'm still chirpy and smiling.
Hope everyone else treatments have gone well this week, after tomorrow I will be half way through EC and 1/4 of my way through this whole chemo treatment.
Keep fighting this, don't give up. Each day is a day closer to the finish line.
Love to you all xxx
