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…

I should’ve been having my picc line fitted today. I had to call the nurses early this morning to say I was too ill to make it. Thursday evening, I was shattered and went to bed early. Understandable as I think I was in shock as well. Friday, I woke up ok, took my steroids and anti-sickness pills and was able to be a bit…

I woke up early, had a shower, and sat on the side of the bed and cried. Why am I having to go through this? Why me? I don’t think I have the strength to do it. Everyone has been messaging me, and I just want to run away and hide and say – no, you’ve got it all…

Pre-assessment call that lasted an hour I will be having the immunotherapy drug first, followed by two chemotherapy drugs, Paclitaxel and another one beginning with C (I think) tomorrow. Then for the next two weeks it will be the immunotherapy, which is not as invasive as the chemotherapy. It is being given to help my…

What a weird day. I was left alone in the house today and had plans to get some housework done, but unfortunately my brain went into absolute overdrive this morning. I almost started writing my feelings down, I’m glad I didn’t. The house was quiet; I was sitting on my own and that overactive…

See, I’m not very good at keeping a diary. Simon mentioned last night that he was avidly waiting for my next update! Yesterday was lymph nodes results day. The biopsy has shown that there are no cancerous cells there so everything will continue as planned. I had prepared myself for it to be cancer, why…
