T Day = 42 (Chemo only in weekends) 0 Chemo to go this round. Round 1 down!!!! No more treatment (Radiation or Chemo) for a month. Seems quite strange actually. Get up at 5:45am as last lot of Chemo still to take. Terrible sleep as pain and restless. Got to bed about 1:30am so lacking sleep […]
T Day = 41 (Chemo only in weekends) 2 Chemo to go this round. Early start – 5am as pain getting to me – still half asleep and actually think it is 6am so rush (more a stumble/shuffle) downstairs and then realise as I’m about to down the first drugs that it is 5am! Dumbass! Oh well pain […]
T Day = 40 (Adjuvant chemoradiation) – 1 Radiation & 3 Chemo to go this round. Crap sleep – pain, restless, just couldn’t settle – over tired from Thursday maybe – or guilty about not posting the blog Up at 5:15 to start the drugs early again as Jono is collecting me at 8:30 today so […]
T Day = 39 (Adjuvant chemoradiation) – 2 Radiation & 5 Chemo to go this round. Another restless sleep but that’s ok, quite used to them now. Early again starting the day but its fine as I have an 8:40 zapping today so need to start the drugs anyway. So up and into the day. Get the feeling […]
T Day = 38 (Adjuvant chemoradiation) – 3 Radiation & 6 Chemo to go this round. Another day – another broken sleep – small but close (4.5km away) 3.8 mag shake at 2:15 which woke me, then head started hurting, and finally the stomach pain joined the party at 5:30 so decided to get up seen […]
T Day = 37 (Adjuvant chemoradiation) – 4 Radiation & 7 Chemo to go this round. Crappy sleep – pain, restless, and a bloody loud rattly 4.2 quake rumble through at 2:30am. Oh well – guess that the fun of living in quakesville! Still fascinated/impressed by the physics of the quakes. Sort drugs and start into regime quickly. Stir […]
T Day = 36 (Adjuvant chemoradiation) – 5 Radiation & 8 Chemo to go this round. The final week!!! Yipee!! Good sleep – though very tired – managed a 6.6 km walk on Sunday so had earnt a good sleep but it still has a hold on me. Usual routine – up and into drugs – this […]
T Day = 35 (Chemo only in weekends) 8 Chemo to go this round. A half decent longish sleep thank goodness – though woke aching and sore & slow. Actually I don’t mind as I know that once I start moving round that it eases up. The head is too bad pain wise either which is good. […]
T Day = 34 (Chemo only in weekends) 9 Chemo to go this round. Broken sleep but that’s fine – up and bloody hurting lots – joints very sore but it’s OK. Into the pain killers before doing anything else, then sort out the regime for the day and make a cuppa tea, and revive the fire to take the […]
T Day = 33 (Adjuvant chemoradiation) – 6 Radiation & 10 Chemo to go this round. Early night has worked and have a great sleep. And up early as usual to start the last day of the week. Another frosty one. Get drugs ready and make a cuppa tea to warm, up. Try to sit down to […]
