Lots of waiting yesterday - for the doc then for a chemo chair. It was number 6 of 12 so I'm halfway through this lot of chemo. And I'm 3/4 way through chemo in total. I was very very sleepy at the end - with eyes shut on the walk to the car! Bounced back a little while later though. Had a terrible...

Stayed at home for most of the day yesterday, resting up before last night. Was so restless, making myself sit down for plenty of time, thinking about what I'd rather be doing. Had a good night at the Doig Medal. I wore a long black skirt and a black flowey top - needed something comfortable and no...

I've been consumed with school holidays for the past few days - it's been fun but if you graphed the last few days it probably started up high and finished down low last night.

A big shout out to Laura in London who is running the Berlin Marathon on Saturday and all of the money she has raised is going to the Breast Cancer Foundation of WA who have been such a magnificent help to me. Good luck! http://www.everydayhero.com.au/laurabattistuzzi

Started the day at the hospital for another blood test to test my white blood cells. I walked in to the pathology clinic at the Cancer Centre (where my doc is) to a row of old, sick looking patients waiting for their blood tests. All eyes were on me and they all seemed to be keen for me to join them...

Had a good couple of days. The spring weather helps and my wisteria in the back garden is looking beautiful. This morning mum and I had reflexology at Solaris Care. It was so nice and relaxing. The doctors office called today. The results of today's blood test show that my neutrophils are a little ...

Lill looked after Fraser for the day today so I was left pondering what to do after my dental appointment. So I bought myself a box of popcorn and watched "Boy"at Luna. What a luxury - I love going to the movies by myself and even better during the day. Yesterday I had a good day too and thought I ...
