sunday october 17th 2010 - went to pick trev up today......end of chemo cycle 2!!! went into hospital on tuesday....been hooked up ever since!! i ve been to visit him daily and yet again he s done brilliantly!!! had a slight infection in his trachy and peg sites....always does when he goes in hospital!!! but course of antibiotics and he s champion : )

there was another lad his age ...37....in the next bed...was really weird..turns out he lives close to us...has the same cancer...and his girlfriend has same surname as me!!! weeeeird!!!!!!!!!!!! him and trev were both discharged today. trev is a cycle ahead and they have different treatment schedules reg peg and trachy etc. so they have had good chats!

well.....trev has again taken to chemo really well . so far...no sickness or tiredness....still loadsa energy and appetite!! we went out to our verydeserted local for a swift half...game of pool and some juke box tunes! was lovely!  he s bought hats....dunno if the hair is gonna jump off yet but he s waitin and seein!!! bless him. he really is inspirational...well to me....only diagnosed aug 3.....trachy..peg.....teeth out...chemo.....and he s just goin for it!!! every day is a day closer to the rest of our lives together!!

    Hey glad Trev is doing okay.  I start cycle 2 on Friday.  So far I was sick for about a week, tiredness is getting less and less and all I habe to contend with is hairloss and sore head.

    Lots of positive thoughts

    Yea I've bought some hats too and scarves.  I have more to go back on ebay because they looked really nice then when they came I just did'nt like them on LOL.  So more shopping to come :).

    Keith shaved my hair off last night and my sore head has eased off.  Now me head is cold lol.

    I am of for an exam on my ECDL course as it may be a few weeks before I get back to it. Its word and since I've done word and word/text processing in the past it should be a walk in the park.  Fingers crossed.

    Hugs
