Chemo is HORRIBLE

I was talked into having it as a precaution and had my first 4 hours and it was as I said H.o.r.r.i.b.l.e.

Not the actual going in, but the last 6 days I have been barely able to function and what I would have done without my wonderful Peter the rock God alone knows.

I look like death warmed up - pale as :(

Blood test was o.k. - drained the blood easily and did not hurt.

Saw my surgeon this arvo. and I said " I am not sure I can cope" and he said "You will, and forget all about it after it is all over famous last words". Peter is worried I may be pregnant lol as today I wanted gingernut biscuits, Pecks Anchovy Paste and instead of my beloved tea a tin of coffee and milk" weird.

Silly me also said "You pray for me I will be able to cope" and he said "I will" I can imagine God worrying about a poor creature going through Chemo. when SO much suffering in the World.

Three months to go with Chemo IF I can take the 4 treatments and 5 weeks of radiation every day. Jimminie Crickets we never know from one day to the next do we :(

Has anyone heard from Phyl? I am sure there are many of us hoping she is alright and thinking about her and praying for her.

Yes Vivity

She has had a 3rd round of chemo and not doing too good at the moment.

She doesn't feel like using the putor at the moment but will come on when she feels better.  It takes quite a bit of time to recover after chemo if it makes you sick.

Phyl is a fighter and she will overcome this.

She will overcome it just hope she did not end up in hospital again? Chemo Cycle seems to be week after bad, 2nd week recovery, 3rd feeling humannagain. At least she has only one more Chemo Cycle to go so that is something to be able look at the future having finished all Chemo.

You are in my thoughts and prayers Phyl, I am sure the collective prayers an good vibes from your friends and your beloved Peter will help you through , love from Taddy

Seggie. My thoughts too, Tadpole. Love to dear Phyl.and Peter. Bloody cancer.

Thank you  for your wonderful support Sandi. and Viv. and Tadpole and Seggie and Maggs and anyone cares :)

Ended up for an 8 hour stint in hospital yesterday - poor Peter sat with me as he does - What a rock.

My blood pressure kept dropping far far to low so had the miseries.

I think the steroids I have for a couple of days is the culrit for the depression which is like a huge black cloud hovering and seeping into every bit of my body and brain. SO unlike me, sorry Ken,  I am not the normal Pollyanna any more and I feel sad about that :(

I will get better soon please God but will I take a 4th chemo.? not sure at all.

I am having the pacer moved - piece of cake compared to chemo. 30 zaps of radiation? told not nearly as bad as chemo either, so although still  a long road one day at a time 

Hugs to all I do so appeciate your kind wishes and thoughts.

I want my old life back :( :( :(

Best wishes Phyl .........and I earnestly hope that your treatment will have a positive outcome ........

Phyl that black cloud dissipates if you visualise a silver lining. Here is something to look forward to, When you are feeling better I'll cook a meal for you and Peter. My cooking has improved!!!! I now know to drain off the water before mashing spuds, and for the sausages that go with the mash, it is better cooking them in an oven than with a blow torch, I am now venturing into frozen stuff. Wishing you well, Phyl.

((((HUGS))))) Phyl and we are all thinking of you and can only imagine what you are going through  God bless Peter too

Ditto to all of the above Phyl, hang in there.  Just remember you are allowed to feel crappy sometimes, you have good reason, but never fear, the real Phyl is in there, just taking a short break. 

Seth, I'm not sure your offer is a great incentive, even though it obviously comes from the heart.  How about you invite us all, and we will bring a plate? 

Thank you Seth I will accept any kind wish or not so good recipe etc. at the moment :)

Thank you Clay. I hope so also.

I say the same fervently P.B. God bless Peter. Hug gratefully received.

Thanks Pommy. I am looking in the mirror and hope to see the old Phyl. back soon.,
