hello well its been a goodish week i had my ct scan on the wed and i got the all clear- well the cancer hasn't spread out of my pelvis area so it was good news. i start chemo on monday but i am a tad confused as when she called yesterday we had a talk about side effects etc but she would go into it more on monday. i asked her roughly what time i'd expect to be home i thought about lunch and she said it'll be two full days of treatments so it will be evening/night before i am able to go home, to start with she said it would last 16hrs i thought ok but she said its going to be reapeted on the tuesday. i am so confused, maybe i have picked her up wrong guess i'll just wait till monday now. i have the joy of talking to the kids tonight it has to be done. i have not been in a lot of pain this week which is great and i got pills for my bleeding which has been fab, i also got the swine flu jab on tuesday the kids and hubby got it too, just sore arms nothing to major to report with it as i know some people have had a bad time with it.
The only other thing is i feel bloody great, I have had alot on this week that has taken away the thoughts and feelings about the "c"
is it normal to feel great and feel so strong at a time like this i seem to be the only person around me coping and acting normal. i havent surfed the net, i've talked openly about it and explained i feel ready i just want to get my life back as for a while there it was everywhere i looked, i know tomorrow it will more than likely hit me or monday when i drop the kids off early at the school breakfast club and my youngest 2 off at nursery. prob be pooing my pants on the way to the hospital and break when it starts but surely its a good thing to be strong just now
hope all is well today
