Hi there you lovely people,
Well what can i say i ve had the most terrible week and its only week one, five more to go!
Chemo started off Tuesday a five hour stint then radio, felt ok that day and wednesday but omg through the night wednesday sickness came and boy did it, i could stop being sick and borking all day, had to get up early for hospital thursday for radio but dont know how i managed to crawl out of bed, not even a shower just dressed and out, oh but maybe a bit of lippy LOL. Got to hospital and i was so emotional not just for me but seeing all those other poor souls sat there, was taken into a side room, they changed my sickness tablets and had a nice chat with me, Laura my middle daughter was with me and she nearly fainted so they had to lie her down, quite funny now but not at the time. So nearly hour late for my radio we went along but there was a delay anyway due to a technical problem.
The PEG saga goes on too they tell me there maybe an infection in it so had to find endoscopy woman have it checked out, buy this time i was a walking zombie i couldnt stand up straight and was walking around with my hand on my belly cos of the aching peg!!!!!!
The feeling of sickness is awful i never thought it would be like this, but when you think what they ve put in your body there s no wonder is there? On new tabs now for that and they seem to be working better. This is my first day at the PC so i must be a tad better!
The other awful thing is the lack of taste buds, think thats the radio to my throat area, i have totally gone off food, nothing tastes nice at all, im going from one thing to the other, one minute i fancy pineapple then its macdonalds chips, im managing my toast and marmalade for breakfast today but a cup of tea is disgusting LOL its the milk i think! How bizarre is this ive gone from someone who doesnt stop eating anything to really picky and hardly eating a thing and this is only week one!!!! This is when the PEG comes in but as yet i ve not used it, ive had my delivery of hundreds of shakes to pour down it but as yet havent done it, when they weigh me on tuesday they l probs tell me i ve got to start, worst luck!!!!!
I m not really moaning here you understand but just letting you know cos there maybe someone else with the same symptoms as me and they could send me tips, tic tac mints also help my mouth for a quick fix LOL.
Anyway i ve got today off and tomorro with bank holiday but still have to go to hospital tomorrow for my bloods done ready for Tuesdays onslaught, i have been so brave upon til now i think what with the diagnosis but i think this ill feeling is going to get me down the most, but there s nothing we can do about it is there its part of the healing process!!
Well thats a bit on my first week see how week 2 goes next week, hope everyone is coping and am thinking of you all.
Love n Hugs
Jill
