    day 10 of chemo and my trip to whitby
    hi there - hope everyone is well - i have not wrote for a while but i have kept trying to follow what everyone has been up to - the last 10 days have been fairly ok - my biggest problem seems to be is that i am very tired - but i seem to have got that sorted out and have began pacing myself - i suppose you just have to try things and find what suits you really - as far as the chemo is concerned i think i am  coping ok with it - living on my own with the little one and having chemo was at first a bit...

    Karen's Catch-Up #8

    Thursday

    Off to the Radiotherapy department for The Planning Session. Airy waiting area and WRVS come round with tea! Excellent. But there was a TV on in the corner, which no-one was really watching, with a load of squawking bints arguing at full volume on some godawful sitcom. No need for that I thought selfishly. It might be a nice, genuine distraction for people waiting for treatment, I know that. But give me a radio every time!

    After a half hour wait, went through. It wasn’t as hi-tech as...

    Sore Arm!

    Thanks for your comments folks.  It was only a harmless cyst in my arm so I now have a neat line where it was taken from.  Phew what a relief.

    Apologies

    My apologies to people who have been following my blog.

    Dad is still bumbling along in the hospice slowly getting worse, there is a chance he may get home for christmas.  He is basically stopping eating just now, he is like my 3 year old grandson when I ask him why he didnt eat his veg.  Its the highlight of my day asking dad what he had for tea that evening and what it was like, I have had "how they expect anyone to survive on that", "it was shocking even the nurses said it didnt look nice" my favourite...
