Can I say it’s been a bumpy ride...scary? you bet your ass it was, still is.
I’m here now, grateful, relieved and ever so thankful that circumstances were in my favour for me to be here, at this present moment.
September 11th 2017 was the date & a page in my life I’ll always remember.
The Dr smiled, asked me to take my pants off, whilst he put on the extra long latex gloves, got a huge anal probe from his desk drawer & a tub of Vaseline...
Just joking, trying to deflect, trouble...

Just completed the second of my post-op chemo sessions. This was the first time that it was done as an outpatient. Mind you, I still spent all day at the hospital on Tuesday. I was there at 8.15 and was finally sent home at 16.15 with a portable pump to dispense the last drug which takes 24 hours. They were rushing to finish and I think they pushed the drugs through a bit fast! The neuropathy in my fingers has been much worse this time. The start of my treatment was delayed because my white blood...

I didn't have the energy to dance. I enjoyed being in the audience; clapping and cheering for my friends...
I have been chasing my insurance claim now for a while and even given them the information they want, now they may have to verify the letter emailed to them on headed paper from the hospital - on top of that this insurance company have written to my daughter who is 23 to see if she wants to leave something to her family when she is gone, this is a policy for over 50's.
I headed off to my appointment for the results of my CT scan, up until now I have kept myself mostly positive. OK my eyes...
