My husband has been writing my other blog I do so I thought I would post his comments.

We forget how our other halves suffer in all this.

Bless them all.

I have had my head down the bog more times than I care –I take tablets but they come back up.

Its not food which is amazing— its like you have a separate compartment for the chemo and its that that comes up because you have this metallic taste all the time.

It has to stop soon though– but yes I have been very unwell the past days.

A little better today and the weather was so nice with the sun shining.

Ray is a diamond and is putting up with all this and keeps saying he loves me even when I’m in the bathroom heaving my heart up –bless

We had the new covers for the three peice suit delivered today and they look grand.

The weather was brill as well as the sun was shining so I said we could go for a slow walk to see the beach and with the help of my stick I did get round, albeit a very slow walk.

I have eaten a beef stew for dinner but I cant drink coffee or tea so thats getting to be a pain.

So much pressure this time of year to be well and enjoy all the food and when you cant you feel a party pooper dont you.

Well an early night and lets see what tomorrow brings.

Another Grotty Day

December 22, 2009

Mavis has not done a lot again. Still being sick and every time She sits down she is asleep. She did some housework this morning. We also managed a walk with dog albeit a slow one. This session of chemo has been as bad as the first one.

She gets hungry but cant eat . She cant drink tea or coffee. or much else really. Now the panic is setting will she be fit for christmas day when we have Terry and Nicky. Ive said dont worry we can always have a late one.

Mavis not to good today

December 21, 2009

I will write mavis`s blog today. She had a rough day yesterday. She is good at brave facing it out but you cant win em all. She was sick a few times yesterday. Also sick during the night. This bout of chemo is not as easygoing as the last one. She slept most of yesterday and went to bed early. But she has been sick during the night and this morning. She is asleep now. She is worn out trying . She desperately wants to be fit for christmas. I`m sure over the next few days she will improve. She most likely wont approve of this blog,but she will be up and about to write her own soon.Ray

are always on the go, slow down, its only

Christmas one day, what dont get done

I think today i have turned a corner as I feel better.

I have had 2 coffee's so Im going to have breakfast now.

The feeling is of being strangled and then the metalic taste and each Chemo session has been different.

So lets hope I improve each day now.

Thanks all for you concern xxx

Love Mavis
