Sorry I've been AWOL for a bit. I've been enjoying my "well" time before I start chemo again next week. Last weekend was just wonderful! As in, I absolutely had the most wonderful time I've had in over a month. It's the first weekend since starting treatment, that I've been well enough to spend it…
Hairy Maclary is Going Going Gone
So, tomorrow is the BIG day!! At around 10 o'clock tomorrow morning….. the wild mass that's been my mane for the past few years will be coming off and (hopefully), be winging it's way through the post to The Princess Trust Monday morning. I'll be honest, I am shitting myself, but weirdly excited to be…
Drama Llama
Never a Dull Moment Jeeze Louise! How much can you fit in to one hospital trip!! Well in true Drama Llama style... Quite a lot it would seem!! I did tell everyone from day one, I'm an awkward fucker... It's generally... mostly always, unintentional, but... It is what it is! Dramatic Much So, my hospital…
Getting Wiggy With It!
Today, my wonderful sister took me to Leeds to get Wiggy With It! I definitely couldn't have gone alone. I'm still feeling completely intoxicated, sicky and headachey from Fridays session. I got up with the kids this morning, and by 8am I was back in bed! *Facepalm* Yesterday I managed to get onto the sofa,…
My Body is a Stubborn Ass Bitch!
My Body is a Stubborn Ass Bitch!!! What an absolute palava yesterday was! My appointment was 9am. I was already super apprehensive because of the reaction I'd had to the Paclitaxel the week before, but confident they knew what they were doing; as within ten mins of my initial reaction, I was sat up having…
An Aggressive Chemo, for an Aggressive Cancer…
This is what my nurse told me today! Sometimes it takes for a medical professional to give you the hard word for you actually stop beating yourself up over not being able to do your usual day to day activities. I woke up this morning, had a bowl of cereal with the kids. Felt A…
Hair Today, None Tomorrow…
My hair started coming out on Sunday. Not in clumps. Not in a fashion that would have you notice. It wasn't left on my pillow when I lifted my head that morning, I don't have bald patches or anything that severe; but when I took the red velvet scrunchie out Amelia had given me Saturday…
Chemo Numero Tres
I did that dance again... The little jig that's become habit when I get to the door of Gate 23... I just don't want to do it! Ever! Again! Yet every week here I am. It's like a reoccuring nightmare!! I hate it. I just really hate it. The needles, the bloods, the obs, the…
What. A. Week!
Bonjour you crazy kippers! How the devil have you all been? So the latter part of this week has been somewhat interesting.... Some of you may know from following my Facebook page, that the dreaded D& V bug hit the household this week. I usually manage to dodge such delightful viruses when the kids decide…
Chemo #2 Just the Paclitaxel
Friday was round two... This time it was "just" the Paclitaxel... So in we went... With my list of ailments as long as my arm from having the Paclitaxel & Carboplatinum the week before, and my bloods form from the genetics team in Leeds. I hesitated before we entered Gate 23... Did a little "I…
