Ready, Steady......
Having just finished 8 rounds of chemo 2 weeks ago (4x FEC, 4 x Docetaxel) I am feeling ok, still tired, my nails hurt and I have tingling in my hands and feet. But my gums have stopped bleeding when I touch them. So I can now thankfully brush my teeth like a normal person, the cotton buds just didn't do it for me!
The countdown is now on for surgery, 10 days to go. I am having a double mastectomy, my choice. I would not be happy with one breast and I didn't want a reconstruction. Happy to be flat chested, no bras, there is an upside after all haha!
So just need to get through this hurdle, one step closer to being well again.
Had a reiki session today, felt lighter after it, strange feeling was nice and relaxing.
Here is something to live by:
Do not be angry
Do not worry
Be grateful
Work with diligence
Be kind to people
XX be strong and brave.
