So yesterday I completed my 5.5weeks of radio/chemo and now face the 6 week wait for my next scan to see how battered the beast is.

Going to try and fill the time with visits to family and friends and hopefully a holiday. I thought I might feel more happy/relieved than I do but I'm sure that that has more to do with how depressing our weather is at the moment.

Anyway best case scenario, have the scan and they can't find the beast then I can try to get back to "normal", whatever that may be. However I'm aware that that might not happen and will have to progress to the next stage. It's the darn waiting that does your head in but I understand why it has to be that way.

Anyway grateful at the moment that I got through the radio/chemo with no side effects so far. So I will be grateful for small mercies.

On the days I can, I will and on the days I can't, I won't.

  • Well done! That’s exactly what I did .. went straight away to Santorini for a holiday .. best thing I ever did . Sun, warm water and relax xxx Annie xxx

  • Well done .

    That sounds a good plan. The waiting is always the hard part but keeping busy and having a holiday sounds a great idea. The weather looks to be a bit better next week and not before time - it’s June for goodness sake!

    Let us know if you get anywhere nice booked

    Take care
