Roller Coaster

Tomorrow is my last Chemo! It's been a hard tough slog, lots of tears, a few laughs, Surgery,Doctors, Hospitals, Baldness, sickness, PICC lines, steriods, Bone Pain, infections, Can't Eat, Eat too much, blowing up like a puffer fish, everything tasting like it came out of the back end of a dog. (stole that line from one of our pink ladies)Lost a couple of friends, but found out how lucky I am with others. Still on this cancer roller coaster, but doing okay, so far, Still smiling. Along with my wonderful family, you wonderful ladies, may not realise how much your support has helped me get through the dark days. Thank you doesn't seem enough. I am truly grateful. Much Love Penny xxxx

    Hi Penny, as Leonie said, maybe plan a Celebration. It need not be huge, or you may splash out.... You deserve it and your family too. It is definitely hard for them also. Congratulations on finishing chemotherapy, tomorrow..... and beyond.

    Thanks for the lovely blog and I wish you all the best... Love Kathy. OOXX.

    I hope you are having a great time in Phuket and that your hubby is well now. I think I may have added to your dog cos I quoted it as "back end of a hairy dog"the other day. My mother always says I'm prone to exaggerating.

    Hi Penny,  It was moi who said about the food tasting like the back end of a dog.  I am glad I was not alone in thinking this way.  It really was not nice heh.  Good luck with your last chemo.  It really is such a milestone.  Give yourself a big reward when you finish.  You might need to just wait until you are well enough to enjoy it though.  I am in Phuket at the moment and loving it.  Take care XLeonie
