My steroidsare anti sickness and on the box it just says 2 daily in the morning for 3 days
Just rang oncology nurse so she’s now clarified meds for me! Wish they had given me a printed sheet!! Had Reiki ages ago and loved it so think I’ll get that book in and have my Look good feel great session booked for Nov…I think us ladies need something to look forward to ? Xx

Wig apt next Thursday…not sure what to expect but guess its nee to us all! Sending hugs xx

The Look Good Feel Good session is brill and we come home with lots of goodies! I had Reflexoglogy and Reiki together the day b4 chemo 2 and felt rather calm and in control, maybe also because I knew what to expect. If you go to a centre which offers it to cancer patients then its fine but if you go to a salon or treatment rooms rhen they will need a letter from onc or chemo nurse to go ahead for insurance.
I own a restaurant and understand about the long hours of running a pub too but you will need to make time for yourself to rest and have plenty of therapies.xx

Epsom salts in your bath really helps with achy muscles and bones.xx
Ive been for Coloscphy this morning and easier rhan I anticipated. Got worked up for nothing but it is daunting with the chemo too. Just going to rest b4 I go into work tonight.
Have a manageable day ladies.xxx
My lovely hubby came home at midday and made me some toast and tea and insisted that I had it even though I didn’t want it. To be fair I now feel so much better. He has gone back to work now and I am setting about painting my nails a dark colour to protect them and disguise any discoloration that might occur during treatment. My friends at work have given me a couple of shades of dark blue and purple. My youngest daughter also left me with some nice ones.
Thank you ladies, I wasn’t sure what it really was but I’ve booked myself onto the Look Good Feel Better session on 31st October ??
You will enjoy Reboot! Make sure you dont put too much Primer on (green) as its Halliween that day?
Ive booked in for Reiki and Reflexology that day?

Sorry pressed post by accident on blank post…must be all the meds x
No, not Doxatol for me but I had read about the nail varnish thing before I knew which drugs I would be having so decided to do it anyway. It will keep them looking nice and hopefully hold them together…
I really shouted at my husband last night…he’d had a few pints with the locals downstairs then came up to cook himself Thai prawn fish cakes and there was me feeling as sick as a pig and he couldn’t understand why I was angry ? bloody men!!! The sandwiches for the pool team cld be interesting as that’s normally my job and I’ve delegated!
Still feeling relatively Okish today although I’m scared I’m gonna end up feeling bad again later!!! Hope everyone else is doing ok xxx

My staff wont allow me into the kitchen because of the cooking fumes! Thats ok by me as then my wig wont get smelly.

Hopeing I don’t get a lot of side affects but got a bag of tablets to help incase!

I was worried they’d put us in Halloween make-up! ?
Oh, are we allowed alcohol?! I thought it was on the forbidden list?
Well done Sam! Everyone seems to have come away with loads if drugs. I just got some anti sickness but nothing else. Not currently taking anything tho and don’t have sea bands on anymore. Onwards and upwards!

Hi Reboot
Yes, allowed one now and then but Ive gone off it. Might try a shandy tonight.x
Well done for those whos had first chemo tnis week.xx
That’s one of the list Sam34 
We were told that the odd glass of red if we felt like it would be fine, will be interesting to see if I do. I like my red wine usually.
I have Sea Bands now, hubby bought some this morning, not very comfortable if you are trying to write but otherwise ok and I haven’t felt too bad since I have been wearing them.
