8/12
On the countdown now! To both Christmas and the end of this cycle of treatment!
17/12/19
I didn’t get to take a photo today, mostly because I was knackered, did chemo on my own today, and I hadn’t charged my phone. So i decided to have a sleep during my treatment.
Erin was off nursery today, so James stayed home so I could have my treatment this afternoon! It’s all go go go when you have a child and working parents and working in laws when it comes to child care! But I’d rather her stay indoors and be warm and fight whatever it is she has!
Am not going to lie with the symptoms on here. But I am having some issues with my Bowles. This constipation is no joke! I mentioned to the nurse and today she said about taking some Dulcolax to try and help soften things and help. But it is making me so uncomfortable I could cry! I am going to take some tonight and see how that feels tomorrow.
My white bloods were low today, lowest they have been for 8weeks. I think that could be why I feel so crap at the moment and tired. They weren’t low enough they couldn’t do my treatment but they are going to keep an eye on them.
On the plus, I saw my heart failure nurse today. She said that from my last ultrasound on my heart my left ventricle has improved, it’s not where it needs to be, but it has got better. They are going to keep the dosage as it is, although my heart rate is still considerably fast, so she was going to write to my cardiologist. So I don’t know what that means regarding the ‘EC’ chemotherapy but it will be discussed most likely on the 30/12/19.

Today is hell day. Erin’s still not well. I’m still very uncomfortable and I have not stopped sneezing! I hope and pray that I am not coming down with something else! I have still yet to recover from the chest infection I had beginning of November that left me bed ridden.
The bowel situation has not improved. I also fell asleep on the sofa last night so I didn’t take any laxatives. But I am just about to take some now and see if that makes it better!
19/12/19
Another restless night for Erin and the household. Feels like it just happens worse and worse every night. Laxatives have helped slightly, but not massively. But I’m going drink truck lots of water and keep myself eating the good stuff!
Did manage work today, but I don’t know how. I am absolutely knackered and feel like I could sleep for hours and days and weeks and months.
I don’t know if it is associated with my white bloods being lower this week but I am certainly feeling more tired. It’s only 6pm and I feel like I am ready for bed.
I keep asking myself am I doing too much. Like am I working too much? Is that it? Ok the stuff I’m doing is not strenuous at all, but it is however making my brain work? So do I need to calm work down? Or go to bed earlier? I think Jim would cry if I said I’m going to bed now as we would never see each other. He would only see me snoring my head off every night!
I am going for an early night tonight, by early night I mean as soon as Erin’s asleep I will be going to bed.
