So this week was a bit of a confusing one. On the schedule they printed off for me, I thought I had a week off! Which was brilliant for me because I still have a chest/viral infection thing. So I was like brilliant a recover week!
But as of my oncology appointment on 18/11 she was like no you got chemo & it’s a double whammy. Both paclitaxol and carboplatin! Yay. I have lost 5kg from chemo, don’t know how because all I feel I do is eat to combat the sickness. But where I’ve had this cold/chest thing it’s been getting me down so I probably haven’t eaten enough! They aren’t concerned about it but I know weight loss is a thing they do worry about. I ain’t worried because I could do with loosing some more kg for the wedding! 😂
So here we go. Unexpected Round 4! Check out that bald spot!

Symptoms so far have just consisted of feeling nauseous all the time. That mid limbo - am I gonna be sick or not! & the tiredness has been unreal. Like I’ve never felt so tired! Thankfully I haven’t been sick yet, but I have had to carry my bowl around with me in the uncertainty that I am going to throw up. The tiredness is what is the killer. If I need to have a nap, I do. If I need to slob on the sofa I do. So far, not so bad for a double whammy. Also this cough and viral thing is still present! Does seem to be easing up a bit, but still not 100%.
Yesterday I did have a nap on the sofa and a little someone joined in! James just sent me the photo! She has been amazing through this, for a 2year old she has seen too much but by gosh does she know how to make me smile.

So today again is a write off day I feel very nauseous. Luckily Erin is at nursery today and I can just rest. This cough is driving me mad. No sooner do I start coughing, I think I’m gonna make myself sick from coughing. The tiredness is crazy. I went to bed about 10pm last night, woke up at 7. Took Erin to nursery, had breakfast, took all my meds, and then went back to bed for 3 hours. Had a bath, washed my hair. Went to hospital, got my wig and now back in bed writing this. I feel like I could sleep for hours. I’m trying not to have a sleep now because I feel like I might not sleep tonight.
On the plus side, I do have my wig now which is good. I will post a picture once I’ve taken one and have the energy. But right now all I’m going to do is lay in bed with my bucket and tonnes of water and hope this sickness eases up.
We have our best friends engagement party Saturday and I’m really hoping I’m well enough to go. So resting up now as best as I can is all I can do!
GO AWAY SICKNESS!

This was by far the worse week I have had. I had non stop wretching, reaching, being sick, coughing.
I had to go and get some different anti sickness medications because the standard ones they gave me have not helped at all!
I can look back now on this week and then laugh it in the face.
Chemotherapy you may of made me sicker then I’ve ever felt in a long time. But you have not ruined me off that much.
2/4 of the double dose chemotherapy have now been done.
