Sunday 29 January 2017.

Time to update this blog.

I've been away at our younger daughters since last Sunday, it was a lovely few days, my husband nearly finished her kitchen and I did a lot of cooking and shopping and we all relaxed in the evenings together with good food and a film. It was so nice.

Since my last chemo session I've hardly been at home, it's gone by in a flash and it's done me the world of good. I've felt quite well and been really busy, there were times I've actually 'forgotten' I have cancer. I am feeling much more positive that I can come through this. I'm taking control of my diet and health and do everything I can to give myself the best chance, and I'm going do my best to enjoy life now and make the best of this situation. I don't want to live my life being afraid of something that may not happen, and if it does happen than I will have to deal with it then.

I was really worried about being away from home, worried about infection, illness etc but it was all fine, I could have sat at home and missed being with my family, precious time I'd never get back, I'm so glad I went.

So I'm back at home, having a very lazy day as it's pouring down, not even a dog walk today, tomorrow is blood test in the morning , Tuesday is chemo session 4 out of 6...I'm hoping things go as well through the second half of chemo, I still have most of my eyelashes and a thin set of eyebrows and am wondering when they will finally go, my fingertips are a bit better, we will see what the 3xT sessions bring to the party soon.

Stop this ride...I want to get off!!!

So glad you went and had a great time and your head seems to be positive and much clearer. Great to see you are enjoying life and not worrying too much. There's nothing wrong with having a lazy day now and again. I have had a new boiler and radiators fitted on Thursday and moving stuff before and after the event really tired me out. Any thoughts of going to work soon was put into perspective, I've had 2 days recovery which made me realise that I'm not as fit as I'd like to pretend. Hope your blood test and chemotherapy go well, hugs and best wishes to you and your family.

Kind regards Frank

Thanks Graeme77 and hello Frank.

Hoping you're doing as well as you can. Hope the boiler and radiators are keeping you toasty and warm, and you are relaxing and building your strength up in the warmth after your moving things around in the preparation. It's going to get colder I think at the weekend.

I was going to ask you how you are coping with your business as you're self employed Frank, do you have help? So far I've been lucky but soon it'll get busier and this operation after the chemo finishes will probably be Easter time, then the 3 weeks radiotherapy and it's half term in two weeks as well, it's going to be awkward, but hopefully my younger daughter will come and help, she seems very keen to come. I just hate putting people out, I've always managed. It's a lot of bed making and laundry and cleaning, so may be difficult, and then there's dealing with the holiday makers but that's the nice bit as they all seem to be in good moods when they are here.

Good night and sending good wishes and hugs to you and yours.

Janette.

Janette, I'm getting new carpets laid in two bedrooms and lino in the kitchen tomorrow and my brother is going to help moving stuff, then I can rest for a while. Business wise I have been fortunate that my family were able to help me financially and got ESA and Pip benefits sorted out. The company who I sub contract to have been supportive and I popped in to the training centre in Livingston today to see them. I have been assured that there will be work for me when I am ready to return. So that's nice to know. I'm sure your husband and daughter will be able to manage with you supervising and it will be fine.

Kind regards Frank
