Hi gang, it's me again. Sorry I am a day late with the update but I wasn't too well yesterday.
~Well, last week seemed to be a much better week until I had the 2nd round of chemotherapy on Thursday. I was told by the radiation doctor not to excpect to feel so good because this session of chemo is being plonked on top of the 4 weeks of radtiation which is very tirning anyway, so I am a bit like a limp dishcloth at the moment and have had two mornings of heaving and pulling my stomach muscles which is caused by the chemo reaction. I have just been in the shower and feel a bit more human and thought I had better drop a line to my trusty pilgrims. As always I thank you all, old supporters and new, for your support. I am on the downward run now, 2 more weeks and one day of radiotherapy and no more chemo.
My very sore throat went after a few days last week and apparently it was made worse because of the bout of oral thrush I had, but medicine cleared that up, so I was able to manage my complan drinks a lot better and have half of a bread roll with ham on it which was sheer bliss.
I do not know what sort of reactions I will have from the last two weeks of therapy, I know it will not be nice, buy hey I have survived thus far and I will get throught it.
I do hope you all aren't too bored with the updates, it must be getting a bit wearing for you now, but you do know how much I appreciate your replies and support.
I honestly do think of you when I am buckled down to the bed with my face mask on during treatment and that you are spurring me on.
I have asked the radiologists if I can have my mask when it is all over, and I will try and post a picture of it on here later, it maybe of interest to some of you.
So for now I send you my thanks for everything and look forward to posting next week when I will be saying #"one week and one day to go".:D
