Hi everyone sorry its been so long since my last blog - Lou sorry didn't reply to your PM....Its all been a bit crazy. I should thank my blessings because I know that I haven't had it half as rough as some people but here is what's happened since last time I blogged ......SHIT ... and lots of it ... I know there are people at the beginning of their cancer journey following me to see what symptoms I have developed so I am going to be brutally honest. My symptoms from radio therapy started around day 8/9 I had to have time off work cause I saw more of the toilet than the classroom. Radio therapy people were not quick at handing out anything to help. Chemo on the other hand were very helpful and dosed me up on stuff to bung me up. Going to the toilet was not a nice experience but i have lost half a stone!! Chemo hasn't effected me really the anti sickness tablets are great I just have a orrid taste in my mouth which I am trying to get rid of by eating everything i see and then getting rid of it LOL. This week has been particular hard and I saw the doctor at radio therapy who gave me codine and buscapan to help with the shitting and the tummy cramps these do seam to be working but I was sick this morning ( i think thats the codine)
This last week has been very hard Ive had more time off work which causes stress at home cause at the minute I wont get paid for it ( this will change hopefully at the end of the month when I get a contract) I am not looking forward to brachey therapy especially if I'm still loose in the bowel department because you have to go toilet in a bed pan ewwwwwwwwwwwww.
Carl is starting to feel the stress now but we are working together and hopefully there will be light at the end of the tunnel. We are going out for a pint tonight to try and keep a grasp on normality and I will be venturing out with a small panty liner as opposed to the big sanitary towels i have been wearing for 8 month so hopefully this is a good sign that summat is working up there.
So to all my followers I am still here just very tiered and a little sore. Please send me those PMA through the air waves, there are much needed.
Sorry if I have been a little graphic but I know this helps if you are just about to embark on the journey I started in November.
