Well here i am writing again another post about how i am, here's a question how are you all ? I never really ask that. My goodness 2010 a new year and the third session of chemo begins on monday ( a new reason to the love the song i don't like mondays, another weekend of anxiousness will i have it or will i not) went on thursday for my meeting with my brilliant consultant who announced i have to wait to hear if i can have my treatment on monday as my blood count is low ! anyone had this problem during in chemo and if so anyone know what happens to rectify this , he has spoke about some form of injection after the chemo. I may change my handle soon to the pin cushion queen all these injections and all these bloods least i don't get scared of needles anymore lol ...

Back to christmas it flew myself and my son had a great relaxing day of just eating and drinking vast amounts of tea and juice, eating a lovely dinner and biscuits and cake...... and present well at least the bin looks nice and shiny in side, but it was all the family about that was lovely, new year it was another chilled one we watched the coco before chanel film which was nice and then had an early night being woken by the fireworks of the neighbours at twelve but back to sleep and new years day had another chilled one and had my sister and her grandson and husband around, i made a great tea of stew for me and my son simon, which was perfect considering the snow falling lightly outside.

On thursday i went for my pre assesment with my lovely consultant and he was pleased with me and that although my bloods are low , i told him about my tests for a suspected stroke which i am glad to say i did not have and was relievedto hear though do have high cholesterol which is a bummer but my consultant said he was not concerned about this at least if i keep taking the tablets......

so for now guys and gals i shall wish you all a happy new year and here's to a much better one eh also if anoynoe else has been told they have high cholesterol after having chemo please drop me a line

Please keep the comments coming as they do mean a lot to me

hugs and kisses from wendy

hey guys and gals

well its thursday evening eight days before christmas hits us with a bang! Well on monday I had my second cycle of chemo and was equally as nervous if not more so than the first cycle , myself and my son took enough food to feed three wards and enough to keep us occupied for two weeks in spain ( oh for the day i can get on a plane ) well good news began after our breif chat with some of the other folk in the waiting room ( especially two women whom we met on the first time ).We were called forward to commence treatment that was half an hour to twenty minutes into the whole start and a half hour later began the whole drip and then just five and half hours later we were out of there . what more can i say the week has flown and my energy levels are maintaining well for the time being and going out everyday whilst i can , ginger ale is my new aid staving off the nausea , but to a serious not for now for anyone reading this all of you each and everyone of you please have a wonderful christmas and enjoy yourselfs

its all so shiny and new

well how to begin this blog i could tell all and everything but i don't wish to bore anyone too much.....My name is Wendy just after my lovely holiday with my daughter and her family i went to the dr's with what had been a dull ache in my abdomen area , my dr gave me the routine check ups including an internal which i shot through the roof with.....Luckily i saw a great gp whom i owe an awful lot too and was sent for a scan about ten days later where i was then quickly refferd to the specialist oncologist/gynacological unit where i had another ultrasound then ct scan ( the dye made me ill for a few ays after but soon got back to my normal self)I had another apppointment with the dr's for results on my prognosis which i have to say i never really took in at first .The words ovarian cancer just sent shocks through my body, it was like a lock to my real life and never really entered my mind. All i could think about was the first ever operation i was to have would be a hystorectomy removing everything around the ovaries that would end up giving life to my two children would later on be the cause of this said operation. The operation went well i was told they had also removed my appendix as this was infected aswell as my ommentum womb and ovaries to , my stage is three my name is wendy and for the first time in my 56 years on this earth( with help from my son simon ) am writing a blog i was diagnosed with serous pepillary cancer and have just embarked upon the first of six double doses of chemo . i Have good days and i have what i call baaad days where i feel like all i wish to do is sleep. Thank god for family friends and the wonders of technology and of course tv doodle books and books to keep my spirits up , for my first blog i shall leave you with a small thoguht everyday is precious and every minute a wonder lets live love and enjoy every precious moment. please keep smiling wendy
