It feels like a very long time since cycle 3, not helped by the wettest, coldest, windiest May on record. On a positive note, I had my side effects well under control this time; the weird taste and nausea was shorter and I was definitely less tired, all of which should make me feel great, But I have to admit the weather has gotten me down and I've lost my motivation to get out and exercise, and there is way too much chocolate in the house.....or rather there was way too much chocolate!
Anyway, bloods are fine so all go for 6 hours of IV drugs tomorrow. And the weather forecast does look significantly better, which given I expect a rough few days over the long weekend, is at least something positive. Anticipating the rough days is actuslly one of the toughest things for me to manage, I would much rather go with the flow and be surprised than thinking “I'm going to be sick on Day 4”. Hmm, one to ponder!
So, I realise even me, a highly upbeat and positive person, can have some “not so good” days and I have also learnt that a short walk really helps ground me to a good place again.
