RUN OVER BY A BIKE NOT A BUS TODAY!

1 minute read time.

Blimey, this chemo business can be sooooo gruelling.  Had my first three FEC 100 apart and  from sickness felt ok by week two.  Just had my first of three TAX and feeling like crap :(  Had to take myself off to bed as soon as I came home from hospital which is not like me, am always up around, busy busy busy even if being sick at the same time!! I don't have time to be ill.  Have then had three days now of feeling slightly better each day.  First day felt like run over by a bus, and today not so sore just bones feel like knocked about a bit with a baseball bat.  I called the hospital yesterday and they advised taking paracetamol, for a few days to see how it goes and to contact them if things don't get better!  I am such a bad patient and don't do being  ill very well.

On the upside had a fantastic cd sent from thirty out of the sixty 5 year olds I work with, with lovely messages on, "we love you Mrs King, come back soon" etc. but the one that made me laugh til I cried was a lovely little boy who recorded the message "whats your problem" I thought that was so funny and you know I thought what is my problem? am getting the treatment I need, am so well supported and loved, I will get through this,  I have no problems sometimes it takes a 5 year old to make you realize whats what!

Always feels good to get stuff off your chest, thank you x
