Is that a light at the end of the tunnel??
To me a journey is getting from A to B at a leisurely manner....stopping off for a bit of sight seeing and long lunches.....what I have been through since 28th March has been a fast track nightmare he...

Oh dear...Day 1 and day 2 post Chemo #1 were a breeze....this is easy says I to myself. No nausea, bowel problems, appetite problems...ohh must be one of the lucky ones. Day 3...Who the F^%^%%^CK put that bloody brick wall there!!! Had my first cry in about 4 days. OMG I couldn't move out of reclining lounge chair, every cell and fibre in my body hurt and we wont mention that my mouth felt like I had drank acid ! (Hurt ?? such a lame word sometimes!) My head felt like it was going to explode and puhleeeease DON'T touch it!! Day 4 was easier by about 50% - cells and fibre and head still hurting but I didn't move far.
This morning, Day 5 I woke after having dreams about elephants...(I don't know why, they just seemed to be running around my bed!! ) and I feel pretty bloody good...a bit tired, & small irritating headache (expected after the elephant run!) Oh wow it was an experience! Better-half amazingly supportive. Just sat near me for the 2 days offering drinks, food, "there there, I'm heres" and hand holding offers. :) Hopefully that's the only brick wall I face this round. I am a fairly strong, intelligent and worldly woman but that experience knocked me big time...physically, and emotionally.
The light at the end of the Tunnel is still there on the other side of the bridge but sure thought someone had turned it out on me last couple of days...:)
And again this letter is to me..... Self, read this again in 2 weeks time for mental preparation! DO NOT get complacent next round. :) and please...no more elephants ...lets try kittens next time.
