Just a short update page in response to lots of messages which say I've been a bit quiet (unlike me I know!). After chemo 4 it took at least 10 days to start to feel human again due to a combination of nausea, tiredness, headaches and Olympic level heartburn (which no amount of drug seems to be able to kick into touch!).
However the last few days I've managed some long overdue catch up coffees and lunches with wonderful friends and colleagues who have made me laugh and smile again which has been lovely :) I've also been treated to some lovely pampering reflexology and reiki. Thank you to each of you...
Round 5 is on Wed 4th Feb - I've been advised my 'spin doctor' (his quote 'chemo gets a bad press' - I wonder why!!) that I'm likely to feel worse due to the effects being cumulative so as they say, 'brace for impact'.....
If you have a really good 'can't put down' book that you'd recommend please let me know as reading helped distract me through the recent 10 crap days. Meantime watching the West Wing has become my new addiction :)
As someone said: 'Every day many not be good, but there is something good in every day'.
I'll try and post again sooner than it took me this time!
A huge thank you for keeping in touch with your cards, messages and emails, it really really helps me and particularly on tough days :)
