well today i started my chemo - arrived at the hopspital at 8.30am and didn't leave until after 6pm - it was a long day but everything seemed to go very well - i didn't sleep too well last night so i kept falling off to sleep which helped to pass the time away - during this last week my little one has been quiet and asking lots of questions regarding my chemo - when i went for my pre-assessment on monday i discussed with the nurse if it would be ok to bring her along with me for her to see where i was and what was happening to me - we decided that it would be ok - so when i asked her if she would like to come and see where i was going to be and what would be happening she said yes - i am so pleased that i decided to take her - she went off to school at 10am a very settled little girl - which was lovely to see as she has not been in a very good place this last week or so - so has been getting very angery and crying a lot which she dosen't understand why this is happening to her - so aking her to the hospital today allowed her to that i was settled and that it really was ok what was happening to me - the nurse was lovely and explained to her what would be happening the rest of the day - i feel fine - just tired but i have been feeling tired for quiet some time now so just need to be careful not to pick up0 any nasty bugs along the way - looking forward to a good nights sleep hopefully - take care every-one and hi richard -thanks for your comments on my earlier post - hope your doing ok - karen - xoxo
