If you read my first post, you will know I forgot number 3. Just remembered it so before I forget again... here it is.
I have always been a bit of a rebel and was a bit of a naughty so and so when younger- never hurt anyone or nasty, but lets just say I had a bit of mis-spent youth. As I have physically grown up (mentally lagging behind somewhat) most of my vices have trailed off and I became more of a good girl..to the point of dull! especially being a teacher meant toning down the silly hair...
After my 1st & 2nd chemo I got an infection resulting in a stay in hospital 7 days & 1 night/day respectivly. I am now approaching that crucial weekend after having my 3rd chemo last Wednesday. I am feeling good and determined to try and get through this weekend without ending up in hospital!
Sarsfield you should join our irreverent club! ont he 'dumb things'... what an absolute cracker that is..!! . I might try and really dare to do that one- will write it down and try and memorise it. ... will let you know if I wimp out or not... giggling just thinking of their faces though!
How do I find out that people have commented on my blog?? new to this and only just seen these- I get emails for the other forum things... but not these and do I reply a comment back or post a new blog?...

Why is some one clogging up the blog posts with mindless rubbish ???
well everyone, this week has been my local hospital chemo week. Definately better than a 30 mile round trip!
Saw the onc monday morning, after having my bloods done earlier. I actually went in early for my appointment and they were amazed at how well I looked. When my specialst nurse came in she couldn't believe it. 4 weeks ago she was pushing me round in a wheelchair. The results were ok for my treatment on Tuesday, but No ca125 results, but onc said they could give them to me during treatment...
Well I decided to blog.
My dad is 56 and been diagnosed with cancer, most likely lung cancer primary with mets on both adrenal glands and bone mets the ilium and sacrum.

We have an appointment on Friday which mum and dad have asked me to attend as well and this will tell us the results of the bone biopsy and therefore the type...
Today I just feel so sad, my aunt died this morning of cancer, strange thing we are not a close family, I have not seen my aunt & uncle for about 3 years. But today i just feel so sad.
