Angry hairy fight contd

So it s been pretty horrible.

On top of that i had a reaction during chemo which my husband kept dismissing as me being anxious which made me want to throttle him and led to some debate whether there was a reaction or not. Thankfully nurses with common sense and a well cool oncologist prevailed.  I ended up abit short of breath and bright pink for the next couple of days but much better now.

My hairy angry fight has got alittle more positive today. I received my new hair last thing on sat. I could only describe it as a cross between cher and the little mermaid. Don t get me wrong the colour the curls are cool but there s so bloody much. 

Back to avoiding people and not going out after doing the million paws walk. At which i was knocked over by a lycra clad @@@@ who refused to get off his bicycle even though there were signs everywhere banning them for the morning...instead wobbling then ploughing into me , falling off his bike and then ranting. Twat! 

Anyhoo fast forward another day of sore belly and i finally plucked up the courage to see my wee hairdresser who has worked a minor miracle on the rug so i might venture back to uni on  thursday..yey!!

In summary.it s feckn tough. I hate this disease. I m not an overly positive person.but i m bloody tough. I ve 2 young kids i want to see grow up, so it s just buckle down and get on with it.

Am I re evaluating my life? Honestly, no. I think because if I start it might not end well. Am I acting different...nope. do i have a new perspective on things... not really. 

What I have learnt so far is, I don t like looking sick.I believe firmly in mind over matter. I am going to win this hairy fight because I intend to be a lawyer, helping people in a similar to how I worked in nursing and I want to secure a good future for my family. I cannot afford to be sick.

I am not a great role model. I make bad choices, i swear far too much and I hold a grudge..definitely. but what I can say to anyone who has the misfortune to stumble upon my incoherent ranting...is that I believe in you. I believe you will make the right choice and you will emerge stronger.

  • Hi Jel,

    We are definitely onto it and we are working with the developers to see why this is occurring so randomly.

  • BTW, and i hope admin Pick up on this - somwthing really weird going on with the site as this post until 15min ago was invisible and accoeding to date and time was posted almost full 4 days ago...

    And yes, I have been checking the new posts regularly so guys I'd say site is playing silly buggers :(

  • Hell babe i reckon you are making a difference...

    Got my arse Into gear definitely...

    Sorry to hear about your recation during Chemo - that would be terrifying ????????

    And make sure you kick the 'other half where it hurts the most next time he suggests whatever is happening to you is in your head. Some of them really need that every now and then??

    Mine was being a righ jerk 4 days before my 1st Chemo - and it broke my heart back then but thankfully now I realised it was a blessing in disguise as it woke me up to the fact he was not up to being THERE for me when needed so made a decision to go to Chemo alone.

    May be against what most advise (being on your own) but then there is no nuisance plus you do get checked up on a fair bit as the nurse knows nobody else is monitoring you so the 1st one (for me at least) was for the best...

    And definitely hang in there - I reckon stubborness is the most powerfull weapon when the body tries to refuse obedience ??
