Bit of a pity party...
Hey!
Well, I've had 2 of my 4 AC treatments, my 3rd is in a few days. So far I've been going really well mentally and physically with very little side effects except a little nausea and loss of app...

Thank you to you all for your positive and reassuring posts! I have actually had a lovely day after my slight panic this morning - I took the kids 10 pin bowling, we watched a movie then had a huge family BBQ/swim/cricket match at ours. I think part of me is still in denial about the whole thing as I still feel very fit and healthy (except immediately after chemo) and every now and then I have a moment realising that it is actually happening to me....even though I know it's me going through it, it is so surreal still that it is almost as if it's happening to someone else - does that make sense?! I'm a very upbeat, positive person and, as a family, we find the humour and silver linings anywhere and everywhere which is just the way we are! My friends are also fantastic and just treat me as they ever did before but like to know how chemo went and are interested in the proceedures etc as no one they know has been though this. I'm very open about it and am more than happy to answer their questions but also like getting together and the chat to be about something other than what I'm going through!
My kids are the perfect tonic to any sad moments I have had or will have - they're so fun and hilarious that it's impossible to stay feeling sorry for yourself for more than a few minutes! We have another fun day planned for tomorrow which we're looking forward to! I know there will probably be a few more moments like this morning - here's hoping they pass as quickly as this one did...
I really do appreciate your replies.
