Hi I hope everyone has had the best christmas and new year they could possibly have.

Well today was mmy first session of chemo, appointment was for 11 and arrived in good time but very very nervous, the doctor then realsied that they needed an upto date blood result so this meant blood test and then a long wait to see if everything was ok. Finally got the results back and everything was fit to go, now the nerves really kicked in, they called me in about 3.30 and finally the process began about 4, and I have to admit it was not as gruesome as I had managed to make it in my head. Left feeling a bit heady and another session booked for 25th Jan.

Hubby cooked spag bol and it was lovely but by now I was starting to feel tired so have retired upstairs to the laptop to fill in this blog accompanied by my antisickie tablets just in case, it seems to ge going ok at the moment I so wish I will be blogging the same in a few days.

take care love Terri xxx

Hi Terri

Pleased to hear that the chemo went well. My onc nurse told me at the start of chemo to make sure I ate well during chemo. I've been lucky in that my huband has cooked all our meals since my op and I have been eating lovely fresh homecooked meals every day. I'm sure that it has helped as I have got through chemo ( 1 cycle to go) relatively unscathed, but a colleague of mine who was diagnosed 2 weeks after me, has had a terrible time, although we are on the same regime. She lives alone and I'm sure that when she isn't feeling 100% she doesn't cook a good meal for herself. She has had a number of cycles postponed because her white blood count hasn't recovered from the previous cycle. So my advise to you is eat well and when you aren't up to cooking a meal, get someone else to do it for you. Good luck with the rest of the treatment.
