Hi there
Chemo not too bad, felt fine Friday (day 1)
Yesterday and today not great but mainly nausea when anything being cooked, it’s not great but OK, no energy and funny taste, but reading in comparison, have got off very lightly so far.
I thought I would feel much worse, to be honest and although not pleasant, not that bad so far.
Hugs to all

Glad chemos being kind to you SJ xx hope thats all the side effects you have. Im off to the doctors today fed up of not sleeping struggling to cope with even the most normal tasks, people are talking to me and im just zoning out as if not listening which is just not how i am. i have been the back bone in my family for 5 yrs any problems they have they always come to me. My daughters are going through a rough patch at the mo due to past traumatic events so numerous visits to various doctors etc… for them too. Just feel like i got too much going on at the mo but my kids have always come first but i know i need to be better for them and myself. My oh is brill hes confused but ok a few teary moments for everyone but thats normal. Heres hoping my doc understands be i really need something to help as lack of sleep is leaving me more emotional and im so achy every bone in my body hurts but im not irrational and i know its down to stress and not being able to switch my brain off. Oh well another coffee and fag fix should do it for now xxx hope everyone is doing ok keep me posted. And just for the record i am glad i had the courage to post on here as it does help me loads to deal with issues that arise through breast cancer xxx
Love to all

Hi Penny, hope your doc can prescribe you something to help you get some decent sleep - being tired definitely makes everything so much harder to deal with, and as a mum, I do sympathise with that. I also totally get the coffee and fag fix, lol, it’s what’s kept me going for the last couple of months!
I just got my chemo start date - 17th Dec, so a couple of relatively quiet weeks to go before then - shame I don’t have the money to go christmas shopping as now would be ideal!!!

he prescribed me diazepam although i didnt take one last night i opted for a glass of wine instead. Still slept well and had a major lie in needed it. Im trying to eat well and more than what i normally do to keep my body healthy as i noticed i have lost some weight due to the stress not good !!!. Feeling a bit more positive about things and i know that im in good hands although bit 50/50 on the hospital that i will be having my treatments at as they have had so much bad press lately. Hope all is well with everyone else xxx
take care
Sophie hope your chilling over the next few weeks and look after yourself dont do too much you will need your energy while having chemo ive not even had my results from cat extra but i made a promise to myself that i would start relaxing now get the family used to it lol xxx
