  • Day 20 Chemo 3 Vampire day again

    locovan
    Had to fight to get to the hospital today as the traffic was very heavy but we did make it on time.
    Had my blood taken and delivered it to the Path Lab.
    On the way home we went shopping as I like to get as much in as possible to help Ray as I'm no good after chemo.
    Tried to post a parcel but the queue was so long in the post office we decided to leave it until later so just got home and had a cuppa soup as we were…

    locovan
    Well what a weekend.
    Friday we went to Guildford to see our a Pantomime --Jack and the bean stalk which was pure magic and we really enjoyed ourselves amongst the children who had come along with their schools.
    I met a friend there as she was helping with the scenery and also who very pretty daughter who had a great part and skated so well.
    We had to rush back along the M25 had a Steak Meal in a Little Chef and then dashed…

  • Day 16 Chemo 3 Put the Christmas Decorations up

    locovan
    I slept right through to 5.30am today, so was well pleased as it is nice to wake up refreshed.
    We had breakfast and walked the round walk to the Beach and stopped at our friends house for a coffee.
    They were cutting down some trees in the garden so we didn't stay long.
    It was very cold in the wind so I wrap a scarf around my face to stop me breathing the cold air as it does hurt my chest.
     
    We got back home and…

  • day 15 chemo 3 the thyroid bi-op

    locovan
    I woke really early this morning 12.30am then 1.30 I had to get up and tried to sleep on the settee.
    I must have been really worrying about the Bi-Op,
    Finally I was able to have breakfast and shower as Ray got up.
    Off we went to the hospital--the Bi-op has been done --They stick a long needle into the throat and scrape around then with the help of suction, suck up the  bits and put on a slide.
    He said it all looks…

  • Day 14 Chemo 3 the Visitor's

    locovan
    I couldn't sleep, I think I was to tired and exhausted to sleep.
    I got up at 1.30am then went back to bed to try again, which I think I did drop off but was up at 4.30am again.
    My ankles were well swollen, this seems to happen in the middle of the 21 days so I think it must be something to do with my Immune system.
    So I took the water tablets which of coarse send's me running to the loo.
    We were expecting…
Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
