I went out to breakfast this morning with some of the lovely women I work with, and they had invited along our recently retired boss, Katharine. The first thing she said to me was – should you be out? I just replied with – of course I am Mum, I’m fine! But that got me thinking. Do people think I’m supposed to…

I’ve been good this week and had made sure that I had been keeping up with my fluid intact. The district nurse came out yesterday to take my bloods. She was going to do a picc line dressing change, but I told her not to worry about it as the hospital will do it tomorrow before my chemo.…

It’s back to school day. I’m at home whilst James and Nicola are having to cope with all the new Year 7s without me. I feel lost. I feel like a fraud as I could be in work doing what I should be doing. But I know that will all change by Thursday. I should just relax…

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.…
