  Friday 8th March 9th day post 1st Paclitaxel

  Another great day today. Hubby took me out for the day, to the seaside. We went to Sidmouth, it was very cold and blustery, but it was great to walk along the seafront. I nearly lost my hat so tried to keep my hood up to stop it blowing off. We had a...

  Microwave ablation recovery second time around

  Wednesday 6th March 7th day post 1st Paclitaxel

  Had a great night's sleep, no pain at all. So hopefully that's it until the next cycle starts again. Only 3 more to go.  I have not needed any Metoclopramide at all so far which is fantastic. I have been taking regular Laxido because of ...

  Tuesday 5th March 6th day post Paclitaxel Chemo

  I made sure I took paracetamol and codeine before my injection last night. It payed off as I only had a little discomfort, and actually had a good nights sleep. I  did a little bit of cooking today, as I had promised my dad I would bake him some...

  Neck Plasmacytoma tumour

  I have often thought about starting a blog, but have never had the determination to do it until recently. My journey started with a mundane ache in the shoulder blade on the right hand side of my body. I put this down to the amount of hours I was spe...

  Monday 4th March 5 days post 1st Paclitaxel Chemo

  My early night started with so much pain that I ended up calling the chemo weekend helpline, which is the cancer ward at my hospital. I have never cried with pain like I did lastnight. It literally felt like someone had jumped on my ankles and broken...
