Things really rough at the moment. I am having to dig really deep to keep on going forward. Mentally I feel very strong but physically my body is starting to cry out "ENOUGH!!" Thank goodness only 4 more treatments to go.
To add to all of this we had to have our dog, Emma put down this evening. At least she is no longer in any pain after struggling with arthritis for a number of years and at the weekend her hind legs started to give way. A cortisone injection helped a bit but to no avail. Emma was like a child to us and she will be really sorely missed.

I do feel a little emotional at the moment and my brain is like mush. Cannot think of anything else I want to say. Until next time. Take care out there!!

Not a great evening yesterday. Throat very sore when I try to swallow. The "drrruuuugggsss" helped eventually and I managed to sleep until about 04:00.
Lay awake after that trying to figure out why I have these up and down experiences. Possible answer is that I had, had a weekend free of any treatment and had spent a good portion of Sunday resting and sleeping, I guess that no treatment and rest, allowed some healing to take place, only for my body to be assaulted again yesterday morning. Probably also the reason why I felt fatigued yesterday afternoon.
Weekly chemo treatments have been changed to Wednesdays. This as a result of the Oncologist closing her practice last week on Monday. Tuesday was a public holiday and allowed her a long weekend. Monday this week would have been too close to Wednesday last week, hence the change.
Today saw the 16th radio-therapy session completed. Almost half way!
