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

  • Valentine's Day.

    Tuesday 14th February.

    It's Valentine's Day and I've just has a M&S meal deal, it's been a busy day work wise and we didn't want to cook, good old M&S saved the day, it was very tasty. I bought it yesterday after the hospital appointment and I was sneezed on by a man in the queue, I hope I don't come down with a cold!  I do worry about how I will cope with work after the lumpectomy and radiotherapy but I'll have to…

  • It's Sunday.

    Sunday 12 February 2017

  • Things are better today.

    Saturday 4th February 2017

     Just a quick update, today has been much better than yesterday, we had a nice meal at our neighbours last night, although back home and ready for bed by 10pm. Not like the 'before' days when we'd come home in the early hours, but we will get those days back I hope. My neighbour had breast cancer six years ago and she lives life to the full.

    So this morning  I got up after…

  • Fed up Friday.

    Friday 3rd February.

    Well I'm sitting here on a wet miserable Friday feeling a bit fed up with myself, which is better than earlier when I was really really fed up!

    I had the first session of the T chemo on Tuesday and it went ok up until last night, in fact I was feeling very good, but last night I kept waking up feeling achy and heavy and had a sore throat. My temperature is fine, it's just the chemo side…
