Another long day over with, these chemo days just drag. At least then central line I had done saved any mucking about with them trying to find a vein and get a cannula in it. I don't know what it is about my veins, but they are damned cowards. First sign of a needle and they go hiding. Of course the chemo makes you veins worse, it really does them in apparently, so they stood no chance with me.
At least the central line solves that bit of nonsense, they just hooked me straight up and we were...
Back to normal folks, up until this morning I still felt a bit queezy, but I feel fine now. Hopefully I can build up a it prior to the next round and hopefully I don't have as much sickness. Was speaking to someone today who suggested acupuncture for the sickness so I may go down that rout, but will look into it first .
Take care all .
Well this is a big week, by Friday I hit halfway through the treatments. Its a small thing, but that halfway mark means that I have more behind me than ahead. Its important.
Things are going well, no major issues - my beard doesn't really grow now, the electric shave of a morning is getting virtually nothing out. I think that my comb is getting more hair stuck in it than usual, some thinning should be all I get - not a full blown slap head :-) finally my mouth is getting a little sore. Not much...
Well after a positive start to the week its gone downhill a bit, mostly exhaustion but my throat feels really thick, like its been coated with something. Not eating and drinking much either because everything tastes vile:( I am attempting to use juice ect like medicine and drinking about 50-80 mls straight off to keep my fluids reasonable and not get too dehydrated. However the GOOD news is my clinical nurse specialist just rang my daughter, because she had left her a message, and told her my CA125...
It's so hard to believe it's 6 months tomorrow since you passed. I mean, are you really gone?
For about a week I've been anxiously waiting for the video of you, Gran. Amie finally sent it to me, there are more to come.. but it brought a tear to my eye.. You were so happy. I feel so lost without you.
Tomorrow is 6 months exact since you left. I miss you so much. Tomorrow will be hard, I cannot believe it's already been 6 months. I miss you so much, so so much. I cannot function properly some days. I just miss your voice, your laugh.. being able to talk to you.
I hate that I cannot...
Day 90? Blimey, where does the time go? I must admit that I am wishing my life away at the moment, I can't help it but I am counting down the radio and chemo sessions and wishing the treatment free weekends came faster and lasted longer. Not a good way to live your life I think, but I guess its natural enough under the circumstances.
Today we had my sons birthday party for his friends - tobogganing at the the local sports center. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves - just like last year - although...
Well i dont know if its because strength of chemo being reduced or taking the prescribed meds regular, but i'm having a much better time this time, coping well, doing little things round the house plus eating and drinking all good!!!! If it will be like this in between chemo i will b able to cope fine. :) dee
