Hiya all maisies, weather here is drab and grey, yuk. Having a morning in then going out to lunch and shop with my lovely daughter, thought I might get some strappy tops with a bust shelf ready for rads time, thinking I can stay covered up for as long as possible then slip the straps off and on again at the right time. Seems like a good idea, what do you all think? Having a good few days so trying to get some things done, managed the self assessment tax yesterday for hmrc , all done hooray.
How is everyone else doing today? Some seem to be having a hard time with different things, thinking about you Pendragon, so sorry you're having to deal with all the marital stuff at the same time as chemo, it's the last thing you need right now. You know you have all our support whatever you decide, only you know what is right for you but I'm thinking about you and hope you are not feeling too bad. Are you diabetic? Not sure why your blood sugar would be that low otherwise, as hard as it is we must keep eating, little and often is easier, whatever you can face is ok. Just hope things start to improve for you soon. I think most of us are used to caring rather than being cared for, its a hard adjustment having it all turned on its head.
Christymay, are you sleeping better yet without the steroids? The white cells jabs can keep you awake as well if you're on them. My 3 weeks seem to fall into 2 halves, the first half starts ok ish then goes pants and then improves slowly until I start feeling better about day 10/11 then not bad till the next dunking.
Lols, you always make me laugh with your sense of humour. Can imagine you battle dr surgery, go girl! Sometimes the receptionists are very hard to deal with, thankfully ours seem ok but I don't hold back at letting them know I'm not impressed if they get it wrong, politely but firmly!
Chezzap, hope you're having a good weekend before Monday, so quick this time, just think if all goes ahead on time, in 6 weeks we get our last dunking! Wow!
Venice25, hope you're feeling a bit better now, it's better being at home in your own surroundings anyway and you get some rest! You never get that in hospital and the food falls into 1 of 2 categories, if you know what I mean.
Susie, so glad you're enjoying your grandson, I love the smell of tiny babies, it's quite comforting. May see you on monday depends what time your onc appt is, I shall be there to seem him at 2:15. If not see you Tuesday hopefully.
As re the hair, mine fell out pretty much within the hour as well, its hard but just this last few days I've got more comfortable with it, still don't like it but don't feel quite so bad about it. In actual fact it's growing quite well again, thought it might fall out again this week but not so far which is a bit confusing but I'm not complaining. Wiggy or ferret as we affectionately call it is never far away and I cannot bring myself to go out without it on but indoors is getting easier as long as we are on our own, no visitors in. It's not the best but beats bald is all you can say about them. At the end of the day all this is a means to an end, we all want to be well again and thats what we're aiming for, whatever we go through on the way will only be temporary and quite short really. We can do this girls, just take one day at a time and keep positive. Thinking of all of you and sending love and virtual hugs to all maisies, we all need them xxxxxxx
