Feeling Better

Time seems to have slipped through my fingers. I had my last Chemo treatment on Dec 2 and my body is slowly getting back to normal, well as normal as it will ever be. I did ask if there was another Chemo drug that I could have but was told that the one I was receiving was the only one that would be appropriate. So I cancelled all treatments. I have lost the feeling in one side of my right foot, my eyesight and my hearing have been damaged by the Chemo and I still get tired very quickly. But I am feeling so much better than I was so that is a very good thing and it reassures me that I have made the right decision.

Thanks to everyone who sent encouraging messages, gifts and support. I really do appreciate it.

Welcome 2018

Well it has been a while since I have visited this site. December was not a good month, more reactions to the chemo and these were much more severe than during the previous cycle. Fortunately I was feeling a bit better by Christmas so we had our traditional Christmas dinner, turkey and all the trimmings. We had our meal cooked by mid afternoon so we ate when the food was ready. Just as well as the power went our for 12 hours at 4:30 p.m. And then we didn't have phone for four days and we were also without Internet for five days. Everything was restored and working well when another storm blew through in early Jan and we lost power again for another 12 hours or so. No damage done to either our place or the neighbours so all we suffered was a little inconvenience.

I have a doctor's appointment (I have no idea who it is with) on Tuesday and after that I will know more about what the future holds. I will post an update with the results/decisions that come out of that appointment.

Thank you to everyone for your support and concern, I do appreciate the warm wishes and the encouragement.
