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

  • The day after chemotherapy.

    26 November 2016

    Today has been a strange day, I feel physically absolutely fine, especially as I only got 3 and 1/2 hours sleep last night, decided to get out of bed at 7.30am after being awake for hours, took temperature, it was normal, had breakfast and took the tablets. I just kept thinking, did that really happen yesterday, did they pump me full of s**t and poison as the chemo nurse put it, and I feel ok this…
  • The fight back begins today!

    Friday 25th November 2016

    Well I don't know what to feel today, I'm up, temperature taken, got to sort out a wig appointment this morning, tidy around, pop to the shops to get a baby soft tooth brush, and then thats it, third trip to the hospital this week, but this is the biggie, chemo starts at 1.30pm. Hopefully the last visit there for twenty one days. 

    I feel that at least I am doing something about this mess…

  • Pre chemo meeting

    Thursday 24 November 2016

    Today was almost a repeat of yesterday. We walked the dogs before going to the hospital for the pre chemo meeting. The meeting went on and on, but I have to say that the nurse was very thorough, and she had a great sense of humour! Lots of scary stuff and side effects explained, but what choice do I have? Im happy that there is a treatment, however brutal it is. I'm going to hope for the best…

  • A better day at last.

    Wednesday 23 November 2016.

    Today has been good. I still had a lot of what if's, but after a shower and tidy around I ordered a sleep cap and a soft beanie hat for indoors, just so I don't scare anybody when I answer the door after my hair falls out, then a woolly hat that looked nice for outdoors one that wouldn't make my head look too small. My husband has always said I've got a 'pin head' in jest of course,…

  • What a weekend!

    We spent Saturday traveling  to our daughters and her partner and helping them sort things out and un packing boxes. We got fish and chips and sat on deck chairs for the evening in their living room, but it was so lovely being with them. I just had this niggling doubt about that last MRI scan and if it would throw anything up, I hadn't said anything to my daughters, but there was the slightest doubt about my liver. Not…
