Thank you again ladies.
As you all know it is not always so positive and upbeat. Many tears have been shed, usually by myself, and that frustrates me even more.
I just realised today how much better I feel physically, other than leg and hip joint pain still. It's so amazing how crappy chemo makes you feel and you can't imagine ever feeling near 'normal' again (whatever that is). Then you do, I think. It's kind of like forgetting how painful childbirth is, until you go back again (or for me 4 times). Really need my head read. I felt so foul after chemo, but two weeks later I would feel ok and would go back for the next one and it would start all over again.
How crazy.
I am going home tomorrow for the weekend and then will have only 9 sessions left of radiation. Rest assured I will spend the weekend washing, stripping and changing beds, picking up everything covering the floor, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms, ironing school uniforms and food shopping. My darling husband is keeping everything together at home but he is really exceptional at stepping over things on the floor and is not particularly as committed to doing the laundry as I am.
Hope no one fell off their chair laughing at that and thinking about the similarities in their own lives?
Keep up the good fight ladies. It's easy to tell others that, not always so easy to do it yourself, but we have to keep trying. :)
