Here we go again!

This day has come round too quick. In just over an hour we will leave to go to the hospital. Already I’m feeling dizzy and sick at the pit of my stomach, using all my strength not to get upset in front of the kiddies before I go.

I drank three litres of fluids yesterday to try and get my veins good. Layers on today, will have the heat on in the car and I will rest my cuppa on my arm again when I get there. Let’s hope one pops up that was hiding last time. Maybe I’ll take some paracetamol before I go.

What hair is left on my head has been so painful the last few days. Think my head is a pin cushion as each follicle definitely feels like a pin! Rubbing my head in the shower last night and this morning left my hands looking like a werewolf’s! Will be better when it’s all fallen out, this patchy look isn’t a good one!

My body seems to know what’s coming as I’ve been so tired the last couple of days. I feel physically sick having to do this again. My oncologist has written me up for six cycles but he said research has shown four cycles are just as affective. That means after today I’m halfway through!

My boob has been really painful the last few days too, maybe I should mention it when I get there, if I remember, my memory has been terrible! Legs really tight and so uncomfortable, think it’s where the hairs are going to fall out soon – always a silver-lining.

I hope this time around I will not be so poorly but on the plus side, if I’m in bed again for the next week there will not be as much washing!

Not much to report today, my mind is all over the place. Hope to check in again tomorrow xx

  1. Hi Jo, Sending you big hugs and praying that it will be bearable.
    I see the onco for the first time on Monday so should get my start date, feeling ok for now but must admit I’m not sleeping well as it keeps popping into my mind at all odd hours of the day.
