Hardly any sleep last night as well as thinking I felt pain in my breast, shoulder and arm. After being asked to come back an hour later twice I finally saw my specialist. I totally understood that surgery patients have priority and as I said to my doctor, "I know you'll rush to me if I need emergen...

When I woke with the birds this morning I had the strong desire to get up and out. Haven't felt like this for a couple of weeks - and I've still got my hair. So on with the shoes, sunnies, hat, step recorder and off I went. Sounds good but I have to confess I didn't get far before ...

It felt like a wasted week, it was Friday before I felt like I had any energy. On Saturday morning though I was back to feeling listless and tired. We had booked in...

So this week I've been on my chemo free week. I'd had visions when I first started this chemo malarkey that the free weeks would see me dancing gayley round the house, catching up on the jobs that have been left and sorting the garden. Well duh that just shows what a dumbass I am! This week has been...

could someone please wave the magic wand and make Thursday happen all over again but this time without the negative test results and without the side effects that stop me having my chemo. I sort of feel like today robbed me and sent me flying backwards. Ok so there is no magic wand and there wa...
