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

  • A better day.

    Thursday 1st December 


    Today has been better, I got a bit more sleep last night. I got up to the start of the most beautiful sunrise over the mountains so I just sat and watched the sun come up. I felt calm.


    I'm still having plenty of moments of terrible fear, what if's,  and any little niggle and I'm thinking it's spread, I still just can't believe that the scans were clear, I'm not the luckiest person…

  • An emotional Wednesday.

    Wednesday 30th November. It's been a strange day, emotionally up and down like a yo yo. I didn't get enough sleep again, so I thought I'd bite the bullet and ask for some sleeping tablets from the GP. The chemotherapy nurse at the hospital said they should give them to me, and they have kindly put some aside, I am hoping that some more sleep will help me feel more energetic. If not it's a few hours less of worry while…

  • The day after yesterday.

    Tuesday 29 November 2016

    This morning was ok, did the usual routine, didn't even mind the Christmas songs on the radio. We needed to go to the local town as my husband needed some parts to fix the leak in the water pipe.

  • It's Monday again.

    Monday 28 November 2016.

    Another funny old day, the chemo nurse phoned at 9am to see how I was, I told her I felt fine and that the throat was feeling a bit better, just a slight dry cough, was advised to get some antiseptic lozenges, and phone back if it gets worse. 

    So I went to the shops, got some lozenges and some knitting wool, I felt sad in the shop, last time I was in there I was so happy and excited…

  • The lazy Sunday I never wanted.

    Sunday 27 th November 2016.

    Today was a strange day, I got up feeling ok, actually I was awake at 4.30 am but got up at 7am. Did the temperature, tablets and let the dogs out, gave them breakfast, all the usual things, had a shower and then couldn't get the thought out of my mind that my throat is still all red on one side when I look and a little sore, the chemo nurse insisted that any sign at all of infection…
