1 more chemo to go!!!!!

Hi Leonie

I am resting this week - not much choice.  Just like you when I have no energy the low patches come.  I think your list is a great idea.  I resent not being able to do things in my bad weeks then when I am feeling good day to day life gets in the way, time flies by and I don't do any of them.  Next thing I know I'm back having chemo and feel like I have wasted my good weeks.  I agree it doesn't matter how long it takes to tick them off but the sense of achievement with each tick will give me a boost.

I've just started to entertain the idea of a few days away after chemo.  I think I would like some sort of retreat, I need a peaceful place where I can have time to rejuvinate as well as get a bit of pampering.  We are thinking of a family holiday next year once I am done with my reconstruction.

I'm trying to get some short-term chill outs while my kids are at school - that's in between well meaning family and friends dropping by or ringing to 'check in'.

Thanks for the tips. Keep enjoying your time without work commitments and keep ticking things off your list!
