Well i start 12 weeks of chemo today and am absolutely terrified. My support person ( eldest daughter) has gone on a honeymoon that was paid for before we found out I was sick and I'm feel so lost without her and her husband. Sorry am rambling this morning but I'm so nervous about going...they told me about side effects yesterday and I cant stop worrying about them.
So far I just feel a bit strange not bad a little shakey maybe tired or just alittle crap cause I get the 19 yr old I tend to argue with to go to her nanas while my 2nd eldest daughter came around well that was a mistake as she ended up being in a bad mood.. so bit of stressful afternoon. Am waiting on the 19 yr old to come home I sent the other one home.. but it wasnt to bad. Thank yall
Glad it went better than expected ! Hope that helps a bit with your anxiety about this journey. Forget arguing with your daughters, get yourself back into your own bed tonight & just let them deal with their own moods. !
Good morning lovely people.
2nd CT scan on 17 April this tear (R upper lobectomy Dec. 2022) recent scan has shown my middle lobe is compressed. Having bronchial lavage on the 23rd May. Letter to GP from consultant described it as possible middle lobe syndrome, GP unsure what this is. Regular chest infections but one in December this year & a few weeks ago really floored me. Throat is quite raw & my voice is quite hoarse. Anyone able to suggest any ideas on what's going on with me ?
Only one of them lives with me .its a long story and I nees one of them to help me give my room a good clean and rearrange as it feels so claustrophobic to me at the minute and then treating myself to an early xmas present and move back to my bedroom. Ones here cooking now and the other has gone home so not to bad..
