This blog started over 2 weeks ago, sorry it’s been so long, but I have been ill and in a dark place.
Well time has gone by very quickly since I started my chemotherapy treatment in September, nearly six months.
My last one is scheduled for March 25th, with an appointment with Dr Sawar first to check on my health.
I had one set of chemo dropped for this treatment as it is causing the tingleling and numbness in my hands and toes.
It has become so annoying.
I have been given some liquid morphine for the pain in my stomach and it has helped a lot and I have had some full night’s sleep.
The Dr is worried about the pain in my stomach but also said it could internal scar tissue, my MRI scan will reveal all after my last treatment.
The last few days there has been some uncomfortable feeling in my stomach, but one day at a time.
Met a lovely new friend.
The lovely Lisa who replies to my blogs came to visit me last week as she was in the area and it was a lovely evening.
The feedback I have got back from Lisa, Caroline, and other people really does help when I am in my low moments.
We had an Indian takeaway, some wine and spoke all night like old friends.
She really is a lovely woman and I do thank her for caring and being so supportive.
Got back to this blog
I finally got back to writing this blog; I have been so tired and ill over the last two weeks and sleeping a lot.
I feel in a strange place, tomorrow I have my occupational health review for work and am relaxed about the whole process, I think they will be supportive of me.
13th April is my MRI scan date and 29th April is when I see my consultant, so I will know what effect the chemo has had on me.
In truth part of me felt so tired in a emotional and spiritual way that I want to give up.
I will write more this week and be more positive.

Lucy, I can't even start to imagine what power of will it has taken to pull through all of this with only Smudge for help. Hopefully you are near the top of the climb and will soon be putting the pain and suffering behind you and a summer of sunshine to enjoy and to regain your strength.
Thankfully we do not seem to remember pain and it shall soon be lost in the mists of time then only a strong curry will interfere with your stomach!
Good luck with the last treatment, shame about the timing you could have gone to Disney World with Lisa.
Big hug, Caroline XXX
Just glad to hear from you...I'm hoping the sleeping a lot is your body winning this fight!
I can't interest my wife in Indian food. I've learned how to cook some Asian things she doesn't mind, but the New Englander in her resents change from the meat and potatoes she grew up on, lol!

Well done, Lucy..
Chemo is such a pain, but it does seem as if your body has handled things well. I hope the scans show all is OK.
You're a very brave woman, pet...
Hugs

You are certainly forgiven for taking your time getting this blog out, Lucy. How you find the strength to write at all amazes me. You've been a real trooper throughout this struggle you've been going through, and somehow you have managed to maintain your grace and good spirits.
Happy to hear you and Lisa were able to get together and have a good time.
I hope your treatment and scans go well, and that you can soon put all of this behind you.
Warm hug!
