This Christmas I will be.......

Oh @TeePee, timing! All things being equal you might still feel OKish as you'll still be in the stage where the steroids will be keeping you 'up' so to speak. It was day three when I started to come down.

I'm the trifle maker in my family. What do you put in your Christmas trifle? K xox

The last 2 rounds of AC I didn't take the steroids other than through the Iv, as they believed I had a reaction to them - it gave me a 5cm band of redness around my mastectomy scar. I'm hoping I feel ok and don't need to take the steroids. I also didn't have the lerazapam this time either - I'm not sure why they were giving it to me - but I couldn't function at all after chemo which is tricky when you're a single Mum to 3 kids!

I make a different trifle every year, my favourite is blueberry and limoncello, though this year I'm making berry and lemon curd using almond cake so it's GF. Or that's my plan at least!

our Christmas will be much smaller this year at my aunts - one of her son's and his family is going to his Dads, and her other son's partner just left him in the last few weeks (they have 3 children) so we will be a smaller group which maybe isn't a bad thing. Did I mention it's also my son's birthday on Boxing Day? No rest for me!!!

i also have chemo on NY Eve...I usually don't care much about NY but this year it somehow feels significant, no way 4 months ago did I think this is how my year would pan out...I want to kick the year to the curb and wish it good riddance!
