• My Journey on Paclitaxel

  Saturday 23rd March 3rd day post 2nd Paclitaxel

  To The Women (Written on & for International Women’s Day

  Thursday 21st March day of 2nd Paclitaxel

  I slept fairly good lastnight and got up early this morning as a guy was coming to fix my main oven in the cooker. I plastered my make-up on ready to go for my Chemo. By 10am I hadn't received any calls saying it wasn't going ahead.  I had to dr...

  Wednesday 20th March Day before second Paclitaxel

  I haven't written anything since 15th March after my last chemo session had been cancelled because of my bloods showing problems with my liver, as there hasn't been much to write about.  I had my bloods taken and dressing changed on Monday when ...
