its just a gorgeous day out. just got back from a short walk to get a sandwich. I work near waterloo, london and its so busy with people rushing around, enjoying the weather today.
But i just feel so exhausted today. havent slept properly for the past few days following a recent breakup with my boyfriend. He broke up with me, but I dont know why. Something mumbled about, too hard for him, tough times, not working out.... who knows.
My anger is just consuming all my energy and thoughts and therefore...
my name is chipie and im a full time carer to my husband .

I'm marginally less rant-y now. I'm still furious with God, but not with anyone else. I understand that my parents' way of coping with my mum's cancer (carrying on as normal) is working with them and is probably infinitely better than them falling apart. I get that, I really do. I'm still worried about the fact that they're not talking to me or my brother though - it makes me concerned my mum's trying to hide it from us when she's not coping so well. Again, when I...
Just had second FEC. Wasn't too bad last time. This time spent next day in bed. Was up yesterday and went for very short walk. Went for walk this morning but feel fed up, feel like I might be developing bladder infection and have pain in arm where lymph nodes removed. Wore cold cap both times but head is going quite bald on top of head. Been advised not to wash hair or brush it. How does that work? My hair looks awful. Any advice. I have a wig. Should I just get it all shaved off, cut very short...
It's finished!! My last day of radiotherapy and it's done!!
The machine in the normal room that I'm in was broken so had to go to a different room and have different nurses, but to be honest nothing could have ruined my day today. That was my last time on the machine. I did find the nurses that normally did my treatment as I had a box of chocolates to give them. Well, I'd seen them every day for 3 weeks so just wanted to say thanks to them.
The sun is shining, I've finished my...
Happy Mothers Day!
U might be wondering why I have put 'Mothers' in my title, well that is because this is not only to wish all the women with children a Happy Mothers Day, but to wish all the women who care for others as if they were their children, a Happy Mothers Day. This might sound a tad odd, and no the chemo hasn't completely addled my brain but since i joined this site, there have been many people who have shown great care and concern towards me. Albeit it isn't only the ladies but today...
