Everyone is ill. Emily became ill on Wednesday and has been banished to her room. Hannah had sniffles and kept saying it was hay fever. Now she has a sore throat. Simon is complaining that he has something as it’s behind his eyes and he doesn’t feel right. So last night Hannah stayed over at Tom’s house so that I…

Got up, ate breakfast, had a bath, and left in time to get to the hospital for 9:15am. It does make me laugh that you get there on time, but you’re still in the waiting room 30-45 minutes later. Got called through and was in Bay 3 today. Only 4 chairs in that bay but it’s right in front…

Woke up this morning feeling ok. Took all the tablets and ate my breakfast. Did a bit of tidying up and some washing up. Had a tin of Heinz tomato soup at lunch time. My tastebuds really didn’t like it. Everything tasted very metallically. I’m glad a had a cheese roll to accompany it. It was so bland with no flavour, even…

Absolutely crap night’s sleep. Fell asleep ok, no podcasts needed. But I was awake at 1:04am. I had to come downstairs to get my air pods, and I picked up the magnesium spray whilst I was at it. Also went to the toilet to see if that would help. The spray really worked on my legs. If anything, it made them feel heavy, which…

Not the best of starts to the day. I was a bit late getting up so had to rush my breakfast. Bag was all ready to go, so off we went. Got to the chemo unit, had my book with me and sat reading in the waiting room. My appointment was at 9:45am and we always arrive early.…

Lisa and I had arranged to go to Hyde Hall today. I awoke this morning to find that the picc line is leaking blood out the bottom of the dressing, and I’m worried if blood is getting out, then germs can get in. I called and left a message with the picc nurses asking for advice. Lisa picked me up and…

We’re a few days into Week 3 and things are so much better than last week already. I woke up this morning not feeling as sick as I did last Saturday. I took my anti-sickness pill this morning but not at lunch time. I’m hoping that my body is coping now, and I can try and reduce the number of tablets this week. …

I went out to lunch with Garry and Davey yesterday. It was my first lunch out since treatment had started. I hope it didn’t show that I was nervous. First time out to lunch and first time out with my picc line. I didn’t need to worry, everything was fine, and the lunch was tasty and just what I needed. I now have…

Picc line day. Nicky, Liz and Claire came to sit with me on Saturday as Emily and Simon were at a car show and Hannah was at work all day. I was fine. Did get a little bit tired but I battled through. It was lovely to see them all. I’m not sure if I talked too much about the chemotherapy. I…

After taking the anti-sickness pills, I finally felt well enough to leave the house for the next round of chemo! Made it to the hospital a bit early. Didn’t have a meltdown in the waiting room, but I was nervous. The nurse checked in to see how I was as we were going through the bays (Bay…
