  • $2000 just injected

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    Tired today. Walked along to the chemist this morning and then made some phone calls on the sofa. Had a good appetite for lunch then off to bed for a wonderful two hour sleep. Got up and parked on the sofa for a bit longer. Then dragged myself, pulled along strongly by Lucca, to the park. I walked f...

  • Third chemo

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    Three down, one to go on the first half of my chemo treatment. Spent some quality time playing solitaire and doing a crossword on an iPad that a friend kindly lent me while waiting for my oncologist. 1-1/2 hours later we were in to see him. He is great - spent lots of time with us, particularly with...

    Shows a typical bay where I sit and there's a chair for whoever is with me. There's a tv for each bay, the chair is really comfortable and has two tables on the arms.

    Had another great session on Thursday at the Chemo Club - got on the rower, went in for Round 2 (very short bout of boxing) and did lots of great stretches. It feels so fantastic to be actively moving again - not just walking and stretching. Plan in trying to go as much as possible. Continuing to f...

  • Chemo Club

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    Yesterday I went for the first time to the Chemo Club. It is at the gym at the Claremont Footy Club and twice per week they run a class for anyone going or who has undergone chemo. Such a lovely group of people. The 2IC has also gone through breast cancer so she was a wealth of information and had s...

  • 3 of 12

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    Dad came to chemo today to see what happens and where I spend hours playing crossword and solitaire on my iPad, eating bland hospital lunch, and flicking aimlessly through 100 tv channels, all of course while plugged in through my USB port. Today was one of the quickest chemo days - just all the an...

  • Ready again

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    Number 3 of 12 treatment happening tomorrow. It's hopefully another smooth-sailing one like last week - fingers are crossed. Had a great week - physically and mentally felt strong. Also had a relaxing weekend at Kirup. Enjoyed cancer group today - disturbingly there are always a few new young faces...

  • piece of cake

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    Doc was very happy with my blood results today (bit of a helping hand this week from the white blood cell booster injection). Plan A for this week is to only have the IV anti nausea drugs - no drugs tomorrow. I have a plan B (haloperidol) and a Plan C (also add Kytril again) if I do feel nausea but ...

  • Blissful Fathers Day

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    Fortunately (for Mark) I was feeling so much better today so I got up with the kids and we made Dad coffee and French toast with bacon to eat in bed for Fathers Day.It was a glorious day - blue sky, warm sun, week-old ducklings swimming at Hyde Park, tea at Tarts, banana smoothies, gardening, first ...
