Telgirls dance with cance.....28

1 minute read time.

Well after my first session of chemo on Monday the week has been a bit up and down, not too sure how I am supposed to be feeling still havent read the whole book of rules and regulations that goes with this.

First few days felt fine, a bit spacey but other than that fine, kept waiting for it to hit me but nothing seemed to be happening. Then major disaster yesterday....my wonderful hubby bought me a new wedding ring for christmas but unfortunately it was a tad too small so have kept it safe to have to resized and then on the finger, well yesterday as it was cold my fingers seemed to be a lot thinner...you know where this is going, so I pushed and pushed and eventually got the ring on then blind panic qas my finger started to swell and go a funny colour. Many tears and sorryes to hubby who is just standing with that look on his face, then a speedy trip to the local jewellers to have said ring cut off accompanied by more tears. The jeweller was lovely saying not to worry and come back in a week or so when my finger had returned to normal size and he will sort everything for me. What on earth was I thinking of.

So today have felt a bit odd, my head feels too heavy for my neck and have a slight sniffle but other than that things not too bad and my finger has now returned to its normal condition.

Hope everyone is taking care of themselves in this great freeze we are having.

take care love Terri xxx

     Chemo side effects are unpredictable but subsequent doses are cumulative and can creep up on you. Take your time and go with the flow!

    Keep smiling

  • as drew says you never know how or when it will hit you and you may yet be lucky and it may have very little impact on day to day life, lets hope so, but just incase be prepared for a kick.

    listen to your body and a day at a time.

    Def no real rules and regulations with all that stuff. You are doin a great job, well done, one down now.The great thing about chemo is  that it may be nasty but the effects are only temporary and reversible. And it's making you worse to get you better which can be hard to deal with. But you are doing great , keep it up x x x
