Telgirls dance with cance.....31

Less than one minute read time.

Well here I am trying to gear up to round two of the chemo cycle.

I took the bull by the horns on Friday and had my head shaved, I think the hairdresser bless her was more upset than me, in a strange way it was comforting to know that that is it it has gone and no more hair trails to follow around the house.

Had a huge bust up with my oldest daughter yesterday which resulted in me asking her to go and stay with her mate for a few days as at the moment she seems to be more of a hinderance than a help, hubby now saying she cannot come back...just what I dont need at the moment so many tears have been shed this weekend, mind you no one said that being a parent was easy.

Hopefully I will tolerate this second round of chemo a little batter than the first, fingers and toes crossed.

 

take care Love Terri xxx

  • Hi Terri

    Hope the next chemo goes well. Another one to cross through on the calender.

    Sorry your daughter is being a pain. You don't need any more stress at the moment.

    Will keep my fingers crossed that she comes to her senses.

    Hi Terri

    Good luck with the next lot of chemo.

    Emotions in the family are bound to be all over the place at the moment - everyone will be having such trouble coping.   I imagine that your poor husband will be trying to protect you from any added tensions and has reacted accordingly.

    You are entitled to be cross and anxious.  You need to concentrate on getting through this.  The rest will be sorted out later.

    Lots of love and luck to you,

    Hi Terry,

    Sorry to hear you've fallen out with yr daughter, I'm sure this is the last thing you need at the moment.

    I wonder how your daughter is coping with your diagnosis?

    Perhaps the combination of you being ill and having your head shaved has really knocked her. Teens sometimes struggle to truly comprehend what is going on. And life is hard for them at the best of times, - without their Mum being poorly, Cancer is a very scary word.

    When i had my last daughter we had to rush her into A & E one evening, it required an overnight stay, so my other half went home to collect a few bits plus our two eldest, 12 and 13 at the time, and he actually had to force one of them into car, (lots of shouting) a bit of a tussle went on. We thought she was just being awkward at the time but later found out that she didnt want to come to the hospital in case babe didnt make it!  And I must admit she's the same now, with my Dad being ill. Although shes now a young adult, so we respect her feelings, because we all deal with things differently.

    I'm not trying to say you were wrong, just that she's probably very scared that her Mum is ill and sometimes they just cannot deal with it ,

    I hope your next lot of chemo goes well and your daughter calms down at home,

    Good luck JoBo
