And ready for round two.....

Pre-chemo today before session two tomorrow afternoon.  Pre-chemo just involves a blood test and then meeting with an oncologist to discuss side effects etc.  They are going to give me a different anti sickness drug this time along with the one I had last time, plus the steroids, plus another anti nausea!  Fingers crossed it all works a bit better.  Also getting more mouth rinse stuff to treat the grim peeling mouth which is apparently called mucositis.

Making the most of feeling well today - went for that run that I planned yesterday but never got around to.  It was cold but sunny so perfect running weather and it made me feel great.  I'm probably overdoing it but off to yoga in a minute too - need to cram it all in while I feel well!!

Must go or I'll be late for Yoga.

Hair update - it's on it's very last legs, as Abi said, I look like a baby - patchy tufts of wispy hair.  Can't wait for it to be gone now and stop falling all over the computer keyboard and in my food!!

If there's a radio silence for a few days you'll know why.......see you on the other side. xxx

  2. Well done for running and hopefully YOGA. Guess we're back to those ankle rolls tomorrow and maybe for the next couple of days - let me know how many you do. Exercise is so good for you - all those endorphins helping you to deal with this. Hoping Heather can come swimming with me tonight

    Much Love

  3. I'll be thinking of you. Every step is a step done towards your goal of good health again.
    Well done for your run, you had a good day for it. I've never been able to manage running, I've always thought I should do it but always found an excuse. I think I have a problem with my attention span.
    Yoga is brilliant and makes you feel really good after, I know I should do more but it comes back to that attention span again...I like a bit of music and someone shouting at me to get me going.
    I won't be swimming tonight, maybe next week, Irene and I have set ourselves the challenge of taking part in the great North Swim in Windermere, one mile is our target. Are you any good at swimmin? I think you said you used to swim competitively. Do you fancy Windermere?
