haven't been on for a while but I decided to day to come on and say how I feel about haveing just had my first chemo on wednesday, the actual chemo its self was fine , Dorathy my nurse is liovely shame she's retiring in a couple of weeks. but as the day when on I could feel the drugs taking over, by 10pm ( chemo at 1pm) i could keep my eyes open and I felt quesy but not too bad, OMG as the night went on i could sleep my brain was going about 100 mile an hour , I was being run over by a steam roller and by the morning Ifelt like I had the worse ever hangover. I managed to eat some toast and keep it down and after an long afternoon nap I felt more human.I know its very early days and today the worst thing is that my tea tastes like garbage , its better without milk , the tastes buds have gone west so i'm going have to be inventive with food.
on the upside I've got a lovely wig , I took my daughter to help me choose - I didn't pick the one that she said made me look like Rod Stewart !!!! and i have 6 sessions of reflexology and a looking good, feeling better session to come .
I've decided I'm a tigger and will fight this aweful disease with everything I have and then some
love and light to all
