Its 3.45am Saturday morning, sitting up wide awake, feeling alot damn better than i have done, still have my blue box pumping through the goods, no diarreah at all yesterday, and a good report, NO strange foreign bug in my bowel! So theyre un hooking me today sometime. Slight dry skin around my eyes, watery a bit, my burning feet have seemed to settle as well, no where near as bad!! Tolerable. My taste now does have a slight metallic flavour, and all these few months i have tasted bland cardboard!....yep...the sips of water definately taste like tin. Awsome! And, my nose is slightly dry and congested, but not bleeding!
Ive been on the rollercoaster from HELL for many a day now, I feel exhausted, physically and emotionally. It really does feel like the past 7 days have been a living nightmare. BUT... im here, alive and breathing still, war torn, but alive. When they say you FIGHT cancer, theyre not bloody kidding!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
