Hi every one  Just to let u know im ok..... Funeral is arranged for 18th feb, I still come on here to read everyones posts 👍 Had my chemo today.. I think its number 5 or 6 now out of the 9 weekly ones  I founf the first 3 back in the oct.. 1 every 3 weeks and was different drugs hardest for me  then these weekly ones in terms of feeling rough.... To me it immediately felt like id been drinking vast amounts of alcohol and i panicked alot with the feeling of it.... Also had a bit of disassociation.... Sea sickness feeling and few bad headaches..... But saying that it was doable so dont let it put u off.... The weekly ones i havnt had much tingling in feet or hands which seems they are  looking out for.... Up to now i havnt felt sick at all, nose has started bleeding a bit in past 5 days... today they perscribed some cream for it...... Said my platlets were lower today but attribute to nose bleeds Got somemouthwash today to as mouth is only just starting to feel like soreness building up  Eyes have been puffy and swollen, been perscribed artificial tears.. As very dry  Lips dry and skin are goung dryer so been slapping on aveeno cream ect Tiredness comes and goes but still able to do household jobs and try homeschooling. Saw dr today and hes arranging another scan and see surgeon dr on 16th feb to discuss operation.  Hope everbody is good 🌈 💜 ❤️ 💞 ⭐ 🐦 💚 💘 😁 xxxxxxxx ... View more
