Firstly thank you very much to all those who have commented since my appearance on Look North. It really does help to hear and read supportive words both from friends and family and complete strangers. I hope that in my own little way I can also provide some sort of support to those of you who are going through similar experiences. If any of you want to contact me further feel free to add me on facebook, Dizzy Lizzy is what I am under. But if anyone has any problems finding me let me know.
Moving swiftly on, I am feeling sooooooo tired.
Saturday lunchtime the chemo started. I wasnt sick but the main reactions to it were, it made my eyes itch and my nose sting. Also my body just ached. On Sunday it was same again as I had another lot of chemo. They also give a variety of other things through the hickman line to help combat any side effects of the chemo. Dont want any parts like my kidneys to pack up after all.
Today I had my first lot of radiotherapy, it felt like i was in a tattoo parlour with all the noise. Before they started it, it was like being at laser quest with all the green beams. Then I lay in the dark and listened to my own CDs that I took in. The music for my test dose, yea well best not say what I thought of that. Now back in my bed and feel sick, have a metal taste in my mouth and very tired. And to top it all off I have just had some long stockings put on my feet and legs to stop blood clots. Dont think you will be seeing them on the catwalks. I am going to have a little kip now and send another pillow case pink lol
