    Stop hitting the bottle!

    Recently, due to stress and my inability to cope with it healthily...I have been hitting the bottle a tad too much. Thursday night I can't even remember calling my fella...the one bright point in my life right now...and giving him a load of grief. It's affecting my health, my job, my relationship. 

    I know I need to stop drinking but I'm so lonely and depressed. I'm moving back to the parents place tonight which will hopefully help, and am going to see me doc. I'm just spiralling downwards...

  • I never expected that
    Sixth cycle of chemo started today

    Last week I picked up all my medication (capecitibine tablets) ready to start the next cycle of chemo,  but following a repeat blood test was advised not to take it because my white blood counts were too low.

    I had another repeat blood test yesterday, and after a couple of calls to the chemo suite I was given the go-ahead to proceed with this next  cycle. My bloods are still a bit borderline (WBC 2.8 instead of the prefered minimum of 3.0), but the doc was happy for me to start - which I have duly...

    5th line

    Well, I've been home since Friday, when the hospital let me out after 24 hours of intraveneous antibiotics, as they had noticed my blood counts going up.  I'm sorry to say i am coughing more than ever and wonder just how bad I would have been if they had let me out Thursday without noticing, having had chest infections before.  My nurse contacted me today to say I've got to travel for the chemo again as they can't give both drugs locally, and the op they were supposed to discuss yesterday never...
