just a little update

Think this is going a bit too far on the whole change with it philosophy!!!
But hey Britney rocked it! (She might have been 20!!)

this time has been hard, i felt terrible first few days, still do actually….  odd… got sick and felt exhausted, the last time that did not happen.

they said everyone is different… but this is so boring.

shaved other side of my hair off, it looks pretty cool if i don’t say so myself!!

what do ya think?

After a fun night with amazing people (not as much sleep as i should have) off for round 4. i did not do the cold cap this time, the hair is falling out and i am going to embrace it! maybe even shave some more off until then!

day one after chemo is always crap. in bed feeling sorry for myself. hope tomorrow is better

here are some photos of yesterday

this one was actually not as bad as las time, not sure if its because i had the added sinus and chest infection last time or maybe am just healthier this time etc. either way, not as bad.

lots of you ask me what are the side effects, how are you feeling etc, everyone has different side effects as we know but its not just your health, fitness, stamina its your attitude that i think has the most effect.

i am Healthy, relatively fit and have a lot of stamina!. all this is working in my favor. but for me the best this is keeping myself busy, surrounding myself with friends and trying to have a bloody good time! I AM  in case anyone was wondering having a good time. i am still working out and going to the pub! i know it could get worse, but until then i am carrying on.

fun holiday weekend in the rain, but again good friends and some amazing food! off to stay with some friends for the night today and then have a old friend from the USA coming to stay.

This was in Cape Town with a lovely new friend called Paulo.
Wind swept and in a boozy afternoon by the beach.

i officially feel like poo.

headache, nausea, indigestion, bone ache, exhaustion and more.

todays activities were very limited due to that, had a manicure,  weeded the vegetable garden, planted new carrots as my chicken got in and ate them last night! went to the garden center (by way of doctor for my after chemo injection to boost my white blood cells) bought some more plants, got home, planted said broccoli, cauliflower and board bean plants., prepped the strawberries with straw for the first round, inflated the 3 new blow up pool toys, watched an episode on walking dead. cooked ratatouille for that families dinner and now waiting for the kids to get back from tennis.

hate it when i feel like I have not done anything!!!!!

more pills and early night.

me and my cold cap! it really is freezing!

my buddies for the day, and Kirsty came too. 

well i seem to be spending more time in london than i have in a long time, i am actually quite liking it!
first stop drop off the kids with darling Cath champion who is kindly doing some school runs for us, and off to swindon to have my lovely car fixed (dan hit a dog… yes a dog! not ours, and luckily no one we know either. but poor dog ran in front of the car a few weeks back and broke a bit of the grate on the front of the car and a parking senser. (dan swears the dog ran of into the field and out of site, so lets all hope it was ok!)
another blood test today and then out to dinner for the NIGHT BEFORE CHEMO FUN with some friends.
Back at harley street from now on for my Chemo, it will be at least a bit interesting to see a new place, i have requested a private room! not sure why i need it but i found out they had them and it seems that obviously i NEED to have one!
i am still trying to work out how to post photos, and will they and put some up soon

port out, new one in. it is already better! #somuchbetter

heart guy said my heart is doing just fine and has not been affected by the first two rounds of chemo.

antibiotics are helping with my chest and sinus infection so can’t wait for them to be gone.  chemo side effects are gone, not nauseous anymore.

home tonight. can’t wait for my own bed and to see the kids, 3 days away is too long
