We did manage to sleep last night. My poor Dad has got a chest infection and was being sick alot last night, my Mum was worried. She thinks it's part of the shock of losing his Mum. He has been in bed all day, his whole body is hurting. I am still crying now and again, my brother Simon came from London and he didnt want to talk. In the end we talked and had a cry together. He can't believe she went so fast.
My Aunt and Dad went through my Grandma's papers and found some cash she left for...
Hard day at the hospital yesterdat, had a group talk about chemo then a 1 to 1 with the nurse.

Couldent sleep last night, too many things on my mind it was so much to take in, and my imagination doing overtime lots of aches and pains:(( and then have a head ache today as im tired.

Evie, aged two (the terrible twos?) is the light of my life and we went to the shops yesterday. I have laways been up front with my stoma and my bag and she has asked a lot of questions. In the queue at the CO-OP we arrived at the checkout. I have got a large rupture on my stoma and sometimes it pokes out very conspicuously. Evei turned round, patted my lump, and explained to the check out operator and anyone else who would listen "That's my poppa's bag. It's full of poo and it's going to burst!...
Cycle 3, Day 3
Sorry for the delay, Didn't really have the energy most of the time to update.
Still a little low on energy now so I will keep this relatively short, Just approaching day 4 of cycle 3, One more cycle left after this! yay! Definitely easier mentally to cope with things now, than the first cycle but feeling pretty fatigued physically. My legs are sore the same way my head was before my hair fell out so I imagine that the hairs on my legs are due to fall out over the next couple of...
Day 5! 2 weeks break now, Well, I have to go in twice for an hour each time over the next two weeks but that's nothing compared to how the last months been. Ughhh! Aching all over today, Feeling ok otherwise though, just rough. So I'm going to sit here for the next three days........WITH COOKIES!!!!!!!!
Day 4,
I Thought a progressive diary on here would help me keep things in focus and in perspective. I feel a bit rougher than the other day, Face feels fat as hell haha, Must be all the drip fluids there pumping into me, Still no pain whatsoever though so I can't complain about a hot and fat feeling face lol feels a bit like sunburn. Hairs thinning a bit at the front but I don't really care. I'd swap my hair for a break from that nasty pain anytime. xxx Love you all and thanks for the support....
Just got home from my second day of my first cycle of chemotherapy, And all I have to say is WOW and maybe WOW again. It's working already, I haven't had any pain for 1 day , I'm now down to 20mg morphine 12 hour slow release, twice a day, when I was Taking 120-150mg of morphine, 4000mg paracetamol, 240mg codeine every day and still had pain.
So happy right now :)
A week ago today saw the start of my sore throat. No worries there, I had been talking a lot in work.
Day off on Wednesday, spent quietly on my own, didn't feel up to planned gym session. Thankful that I had rescheduled my lunch date for Thursday, just couldn't pull out of that one.
Biggest effort on Thursday, an hours drive through beautiful countryside in glorious sunshine (well in my car really, but you know what I mean) OK so my Aunt and I talked alot and I began choking on my words.
Friday...
