3 Too Many

I’ll do a proper update tomorrow as I’m in hospital for the night again bugger it. Head was not responding to painkillers so needed hospital strength ones. Kia Kaha

Day 3 of 23 treatment free. Woke at 3:30 but manage to doze on and off until just after 6 when the headaches got me into the day.  Still not in a good place really – so this is going to be a short and sour blog.  This is starting to get to me.  I can’t […]

Day 2 of 23 treatment free.  A sleep in of such today – didn’t wake till 5:30. Get up at 6am as there is only so much ceiling staring you can do and a cuppa tea is calling.  No real notable pain either so staying off the pain killers if I can help it.  Also […]

Day 1 of 23 treatment free. There may be no Chemo today but it doesn’t stop me waking at 4:15.  Can’t really settle back into a proper sleep and doze on and off. eventually get up at 6:15 as, once again, uncomfortable with pain in head and legs.  In fact legs hurting so much I struggle to […]

Treatment Round 2 – Set 1 – Day 5 – Chemo only. “We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we’re not alone.” – Orson Welles Made it – last day of Chemo, well for the next 23 days anyway.  […]

Treatment Round 2 – Set 1 – Day 4 – Chemo only. No headache – well not yet. Mind you it is only 5:40.  Check through the doses for today (as I have extras to take on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday).  Make a cuppa then into the routine. Sit down and finish yesterdays blog that was just […]

Treatment Round 2 – Set 1 – Day 3 – Chemo only.  5:45 start again – standard for when I am on Chemo. Sort out the drugs and head then take the first of the morning.  Not in a good place mentally and feeling very frustrated and wound up.  Decide to get on the spin bike before […]

Treatment Round 2 – Set 1 – Day 2 – Chemo only. Wake just as the alarm goes off at 5:45. Head really thumping – nearly fall downstairs (might have been a good cure).  Load up pain killers – starting to hate this again – and get the myriad of drugs out ready for the […]

Treatment Round 2 – Set 1 – Day 1 – Chemo only. Well here we are, round 2 of the treatment.  Chemo only for the next 7 odd months.  I’ll be doing 5 days of Chemo in every 28 days.  As for what song is best suited to start this round, I think that knowing […]

1 Day till Chemo starts again. Odd start to the day.  Wake suddenly at 4:20 then at 4:21 the cell phones all light up for no reason – as in no emails, text, alarms, or the likes – just glows. Hhmm – something in the Force changed young Jedi.  I know I had been getting cramp […]
