Well, everything is coming along fine. I haven't had any soreness or sunburn type effect so far. Had treatment number 10 today. My throat is a bit croaky and is starting to get sore. The hospital has given me some sticky paracetamol to take, which apparently coats your throat with paracetamol, rather than it just being swallowed.
Still no sensation in my fingers and toes. Seemingly, its the Taxotere chemo drug that damages your peripheral nerves. I'm not sure I will ever get the feeling back. I shall ask the doc on Thursday.
My hair is growing back very quickly now. I reckon I'll be able to have an Emma Watson crop by summer!!
We are taking Emz to have her in growing toenails sorted tomorrow morning. They call it nail 'surgery'. Emz loving it really, cos it sounds dead dramatic...bless her.
Hoping that the radiotherapy isn't delayed an hour AGAIN tomorrow. Its crap just sitting around. Mikey, along with every other accompanying bloke in there, falls asleep. Honestly, last week, every man there who wasn't being treated was sat snoring ( or puffing in Mikey's case) Talk about moral support!!!!! Only kidding , Mikey is brilliant and is there every single step, holding my hand.
Anyhow, more posts to follow. Until then Ladies ( and gents!!) PLEASE KEEP CHECKING!!!!!
keep fighting roz and smiling, hope you get better very soon ... xxx
