    Oncology have come up with a new plan for me. There’s a bit of reluctance on both their part (and on mine too) to rush me back into systemic treatment. The two lesions in my liver are small and relatively stable following the Pembrolizumab. The...

    Thursday 25th January Day 8 post Second EC
    Taking gloop before going to bed seems to be working, with the reflux. I actually managed to sleep until about 6 and got up at 7am.  Made a cuppa as normal and went to watch The Traitors on Tv I felt sorry for Ross . My taste seems to be coming ...

    Well that was a night I don't fancy again too soon. All was going well, I managed to stay up with my hubby and watched a movie together. I found eating and drinking hard as loss of taste, just made things hard to swallow, I actually had to force...

    Birthdays, Death days, poems and more.

    Today is my birthday, last year I spent it in hospital and the year before that it was only a couple of days before it that we found out I was pregnant, so to be honest today has been extremely odd to just be able to be me...a "normal birthday" so to say, no wires on my fingers, no drips in my arms, no panic attacks over a surprised positive sign on a stick after thinking you couldn't have children... It's been lovely but odd.
