Today marks 7 months since my diagnosis. I am cancer free, and I completed my finally round of radiotherapy yesterday. What a journey the past few months have been! To say it's been emotional would be an understatement, and what I'd really like to do, is thank all of you reading, for going through this…
I swear I will never be warm again!! Big cardi on and sat by the radiator with a cuppa.. Come on hair!! We're four weeks post chemo!!! My Current Mood! Embracing the bald! But while I'm here...I'm feeling overwhelming amounts of love & gratitude for everyone in my life! Whether you've done me wrong, or…
So today…. This happened… Look at all my chemo chins!! I had my oncology appointment just before this photo was taken… The second time in a week. Last week I was neutropenic and still on antibiotics, so not fit to have my second cycle of EC. My neutrophils were at 0.7, less than half what…
8-9 hours… To wait for a bed. At this point I'd already been there approx 10 hours and I just wanted to cry. I'd had enough. I was weak. I was sick. The room wouldn't stop spinning. I could hear somebody crying out in another cubicle. I was so thirsty. How could I be this…
So as expected, the chemo, once again, did not agree with me. Tuesday rolled around and by the afternoon I was sat on the living room floor, crying, asking my mum if she'd stay the night because I felt so bloody rotten; whether it was intuition, or what, I don't know, but that decision saved…
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! That, that right there was my mood last Monday morning. Throw in some grumbling stomach noises, a helping of nausea, a side of insomnia and a shot of snotty tears and we're good to go!! I should have been absolutely buzzing after the news the week before, but this new chemo had absolutely destroyed…
How's your week been so far? I'm here to wish you not only a happy hump day! But to give you all some absolutely wonderful news!!! Yesterday was my third MRI!! Can't beat a bit of verbal abuse from a giant metal robot first thing on a Tuesday morning… Or can you? Afterwards, as I…
So, I saw my lovely Oncologist Dr K on Thursday! She's thrilled with my progress and how well I'm doing on this new chemo!! The plan going forward - My last lot of Paclitaxel Albumin on Friday, MRI & next Oncologist next Tuesday & Wednesday, and then my next round of chemo - my first…
Good Afternoon you lovely lot! What a bag of ball sacks the past few days have been. As most parents can appreciate, usually if your children decide to bring something home from school, or you catch a hacking cough and snotty cold, it's usually passed between each family member, and usually before the holidays! Because…
So as most of you may know from following my blog, this chemo has literally been kicking my arse on a weekly basis. My body has pretty much been in "computer says no!" mode since my treatment started. There have been days when I've felt so absolutely low, and so so rotten, that I've genuinely…
