AWAKE.........

Yup. Abema strikes again! Least the nausea is squashed by cyclizine.  Hot flushes getting worse too from instant menopause. Guess it shouldn't be surprising that cancer treatment sucks?!! And am lucky to have abema as it might give me extra years. 

Went to allotment recently, had abandoned it jn autumn with diagnosis news. It's looking so much better than I'd imagined, garlic sprouted from autumn sowing, and strawberries, rhubarb and herbs as well as fruit bushes are all awakening. Gonna start some peas and beans on windowsill. Even with my physical restrictions to guard against Spinal Cord Compression it looks very salvageable!!! So feeling good about that.  

And crocheting a small pocket-rider penguin that I can taken through scans with me. Just a wee soft squeeze of a penguin. Final frog is still missing one foot so will complete him too. 

Crocheting and gardening, two of my therapies =) along with Tiki-cat who has taken to sleeping on my legs in bed for long periods =D 

This was how I found her when I awoke one morning, still on my lap. So yeah, drugs suck but still much happiness in life. 

Good morning Lex,  gardening, croteching and Tiki are a good combination.  It sucks doesnt it.  I found a new hobby, paint by numbers is helping me.  Someone put on the other thread that sage helps with the hot flushes.  He drinks the sage tea twice a day I couldnt face drinking teas so I am going to buy some sage tablets .  Sending you big hugs.  It is good that there is still happiness in our lives x

Please do check with your team  that sage is ok to take, Leelaloo , just in case! 

Morning hugs to all, I’m back properly on site and able to charge up phone and watch. I need to sort out a 12v to USB/C for the tv port to be able to do that when off grid. (We were all moved off site as there was horse racing yesterday evening, back to site this morning)

feeling a little ‘meh’ and taken a cyclizine this morning. Maybe it was the second coffee? I don’t usually…..

Hi Moomy yes I never thought of that , better check before taking it.  I hope you feel better after the cyclizine.  I have to have three coffees to start the day .

I seem to be having a particularly nauseous time these past few days. Keeping hydrated. Eating anything when I can and trying not to worry about healthy options. Booked a haircut somewhere new as my hair has changed so much due to treatment.  It just wants to lie flat and refuses to do the messy spiky thing I liked. But hairdresser has ideas so fingers crossed! Trying to be all positive about things but just too tired to do much but mope tonight. My motivation and energy seem to be hiding with the sun wherever that disappeared to!!

Sorry you’re having such rough days BoxOfFrogs Difficult to do things when your energy is zapped.
Fingers crossed your new hairdresser can help on the hair style front.

The sun has disappeared here too … hoping it shows itself soon. 

So sorry you’re feeling ‘meh’ BoxOfFrogs , hope you’re having advice and help from your team? 

I’ve found my fingernails are really struggling, have been trying a trick learnt from Lacomtekp but it’s not seeming to stop the splitting, one of the worst problems is breaking into the bubble packs of tablets, now that I’m taking so many! 

Ah well. Will add that to the list to discuss with oncologist next Tuesday.
