One week to go…….
I am counting down the days now. It was (hopefully) one week yesterday until the last treatment.
I am seeing my consultant on Thursday morning and having a blood test to make sure blood count is up to scratch! Then hospital on Friday, all being well, for the last “drip feed” as my boss calls it.
I am hoping that the consultant is going to say that I am ok now, and I won’t need any further treatments. I feel ok, just very very tired now. It isn’t like normal tiredness where you just carry on doing what you have to do and perhaps have a couple of early nights, it is like complete exhaustion some days, and the only thing to do is to go to bed (or not get out of bed!). I have never felt anything like it before. The tiredness seems a little better in the last few days, and my head is much better than it was last week. I feel as though I have had enough now. My body has had about as much as it can take over the last few months, but seems to have coped with the treatment so far pretty well.
So, this could be my last Saturday as a chemotheray patient. I am asking all the lovely subscribers to my blog who give me so much support with their kind comments to keep their fingers crossed for me!!
Think about you all the time Bannie, cross my fingers, thats easy! Soon be back on the cider my lovely x
We all have our fingers crossed for you. Lets hope the last one stays on schedule!! We all have so much love and admiration for how you’ve kept going through your treatment. Keep it up Anne!!!
Lots of love
xx
I think your blog has been quite theraputic really – a great idea from Chris of course. It has been really good to keep logging on and checking to see how you are feeling! Home straight now. Maybe you will have to start a new blog page with the run up to the hen night, wedding and honeymoon??
Anne,
This is great news and I’m very happy that it could be your last treatment. I also look forward to our next in depth DW LAN discussion on the finer elements of computers and Ninja Geeks!
Your blog has been a great read any very informative and I hope you keep it up for a long time to come.
You are truly and inspiration to us all!
Fingers crossed, toes crossed, hair crossed, arms crossed (which doesn’t go down well at work), leg’s crossed (which doesn’t go down well at home!). Everything that can be crossed is! xx
I do have to say that I see I inadvertently put an apostrophe in legs, a momentary lapse, for which I unreservedly apologise.
@Laura Dear me Laura Williamson, I am shocked at your incorrect use of the apostrophe, and you being such a stickler for grammar. Tut tut.
@Anne
Tsssk
Will be collecting you on Friday for Chemo no.6
I look forward to these sessions, not because I enjoy watching the medics stick needles in you but simply because each treatment is a step further towards recovery. The hospital staff are amazing and more like old friends.
Your contributors too have all been wonderful and so supportive and I am deeply impressed by their love and sincere wishes for you.
@Dad Thank you Dad, this will be the last time hopefully!
