Hi everyone 
. I am pleased to announce that yesterday I finished my treatments 
I'm over the blinking moon. I didn't ring THE bell but I said I'd sneak in and swing on it like quasimodo when I get the 'all clear'. Although I've hit a major milestone and I am truly elated boy oh boy am I suffering! All of my 'undercarriage' feels like it's been ran over by a truck and then blow torched and was told yesterday that it will get much worse over the next 10 - 14 days! I'm now bedridden on morphine every 2 hours plus paracetamol, ibuprofen and flamazine mixed 50/50 with cathejell on the rare occasions that I am actually awake which is only to do my John Wayne walking impression to the loo followed by sounds of a tortured 1970s horror movie victim. My nurse told me that sleeping a lot isn't a bad thing but to put alarms into my phone so that I'm drinking and eating as I get very dehydrated. I was given polymem dressings for my groin area (knicker elastic area) but I can't remember if I put the cream on first (morphine brain). Does anyone here have asthma and did the treatment make it worse? Today I am going to try and stay awake long enough to read some of my detective book, it's about a serial killer so that should cheer me up lol. Xxx

Oh, don't forget; virtual mountain climbing, growing wine vineyard on your windowsill and building a life size model of the Empire state building from recycled cat litter 
. I have some blinking weird dreams I should put them to pen and paper I could have a best seller on my hands... I'll have to be careful about the title as Blazing Saddles and Ring of Fire are already taken.xxx

Hi Moira (Three) & Marie (Mecca),
If it’s any comfort I went through this also, I ate more or less normally throughout treatment even when I stopped the anti-sickness meds although maybe slightly smaller portions & I didn’t pick between meals at all but in the 2 weeks after my last treatment my appetite went through the floor! I literally picked here & there over those couple of weeks living mainly on toast but then slowly my appetite picked up again, I think our body’s have taken such a battering over the weeks in treatment that towards the end it catches up with us & there’s nothing like a bit of pain to kill your appetite is there? I’m sorry you’re both struggling right now but you will get through it, at this stage it seems never ending but there’s lots of us here to vouch that it does get better & once you begin healing it does happen pretty quickly considering how you feel at the end of treatment & the couple of weeks afterwards & please don’t ever think you’re moaning Three we’re all here to support one another.
Nicola
