I left the house today! Yup! You read that right! I left the house for more than twenty minutes and I didn't want to pass out or vomit!! I put make up on, clothes that weren't pyjamas and I even ran the brush through my hair!! Given it was only to take Will to the…
Hey y'all! I don't even know where to start tonight, but if you're after up beat, happy clappy Anna... She left the building two days ago... So Friday... Was ok ish... Zombie mode (minus the flesh eating) and I felt a bit sick that night - my fault as I forgot to take my anti…
Eurgh... I feel like a zombie.. I barely slept last night. Constantly tossing and turning. And it didn't help that Russell starfishes worse than the kids!! Little bugger!! My first session went ok.. apart from my major meltdown over the cold cap. I also found yesterday that I can't do the trial drug as they…
It's been two weeks and one day since my life got flipped, turned upside down... Today was my pretreatment assessment and first visit to the oncology department. We checked in, got seated, and within a couple of minutes we'd been offered a cup of tea or coffee which was nice. My appointment was at 9am.…
So today, I should have been going out with my friends for a catch up - which is mum code for "Getting absolutely shit faced at a bottomless prosecco event" It's been in the diary months. You know the type of get together that literally takes days, weeks, months, to organise, because we all either…
Good Morning Y'all!! So, I'm feeling better (mentally) after my rant, but physically... I think I'm starting with a UTI *insert eye roll and face palm here* However my usual attempt at throwing it off track - hot bath, pain killers, water, hot water bottle - are not working, so unsure if it's that or…
I locked myself in the bathroom this afternoon after school and cried. No, correction, I sobbed. I'm just so exhausted, mentally, emotionally and physically. The treatments not even begun... and I don't know how I'm going to do this. This is the brutal truth of it all. I smile, I laugh, I act like everything…
It's officially been a week and one day since my diagnosis. Ahhhhh and how wonderful the last few days have been!! Finally started to get back to my normal self (for now); I've wept a little here and there, but nothing compared to the tears that were shed and the sobbing that occured this time…
Day 3 - The Plan First thing this morning, Moo threw her arms around me before we headed out when she realised I was back at the hospital. We had another cry together. Composed ourselves and left the house. 10am - Macmillan appointment to discuss finances etc - as I'm self employed, I'm pretty much…
So Tuesday night I told the kids. After school. In the car. In the Co Op carpark - Just don't. Don't say a word! I can honestly say it was the number one, hardest, most heartbreaking thing I've ever had to do. We were sat in the car, I felt strong enough not to break…
Hi, I'm Anna
