Day 3, Round 1, Chemotherapy
Awoke feeling totally like me after a fantstic 8 hours sleep.
Swam even more laps of the ocean pool than I did yesterday.
Again breakfast on the beach, papers, coffee, pool side chats with friend...

I've had quite a few beyond edgy into petrified territory along the way...and it's amaxing how once you know what you're dealing with, you regroup and move on to the next little stage of the battle knowing you are a few steps closer to beating this.
It's wonderful you have such a supportive workplace, and so much sick leave. Wish I did! I run my own business and my boss is a bitch ;-). Having written this, I really have just got back into it and been happy to work as much I can through it...just taking easy when I needed to, and taking great joy from achieving on the days I could, especially as my clients did not have a clue what I was going through, which was an acheivement in itself.
I actually stopped drinking the moment my diagnosis came in, as there is a link between BC and recurrence and alchol...it was a no brainer for me...and despite the fact wine and champagne played a happy part of a my dining and social life, staying alive was just the best incentive to give up I've ever had. But having wirtten this..oh what I would have given to lose the edge on reality at times with one glass of champagne too many...but instead I anathetised myself with series marathons...a novel...just think good brain food and no calories!
