Hi everyone,
So I had my last radio therapy session yesterday and saw the consultant who actually used the word tiny to describe my tumour. I'm all on track to go to brackey therapy on the 8th Feb. So all considering its the best news we could have hoped for.Our Doctor friend said that the last weeks worth of radio therapy and chemo still have time to work and should reduce the 1 cm tumour even further before bracky which again is good news.... So why don't I feel like celebrating.... These last 2 weeks have been so hard. Finally gave in and got a sick note so off work till the beginning of March now. Carl also got 2 weeks its just all got a bit too much trying to keep everything going as normal when really nothing is normal at all, and probably won't be for some time yet.
Side effects are doing my head in and to top it all off I've started with heart burn again today which is unbearable but a hot drink and a chewing gum worked better than the Gaviscon which is definitely the devils sperm!!!
I'm still taking tablets to stop the tummy cramps and to stop me going to the toilet every 3 seconds. I am very paranoid about going to Christies and where I am going to be going to the toilet so I have started a poo diary. The thought of having to do what i call my Bad Poos in a bed pan is making me want to run away and hide but I know that I'm not the only person going through this and hopefully I will just dose myself up on codine and not go for a few days lol So I see the consultant in 6 weeks time which will be 4 weeks after Chrisites. That is going to be the longest 4 weeks of my life.
So I'd like to say thank you to everyone on here for their kind words and also friends on facebook who have commented on my status about the shrinkage of my lemon to a grape its nice to know so many people care and are interested.
I'd also like to say a humongous thank you to Faye for driving me to Preston and back to my mum for making my dinner and to Carl - the love of my life for putting up with my Bad Poos, constant moaning and also for tidying the house love you more than I can express. we will get through this together xxxx
