Time for another cuppa, tea or coffee, I serve both. For those who haven’t caught up with the news, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October and have had a couple of ops. Big news, this week I had my first chemo session on Friday. So far I have bought 3 Christmas presents, but somehow I will get there, ever so slowly, my after effects from the chemo could not have been better, or maybe I should say more like a great night out. I have been left feeling slightly tipsy, bit too much wine and totally euphoric. May sound strange, but hey! I’m not complaining. Don’t think I am slurring my words today, although I couldn’t walk a straight line, Christmas shopping and cooking are going to be so much fun this year, who knows what everyone will end up with or for that matter what they might miss out on, this will probably be my most unstressed Christmas ever. I tried to do some needle work on Friday night and it took me two hours to do two stitches, and I couldn’t have cared less. Only 3 more sessions to go, I have got the wig, I will take a picture for a layout sometime. To get the big question how am I going to handle the stress this holiday season, guess I’m not going to have any if this is how my medication is going to be for the next 3 months. Glad I have recorded this as this time next year my daughter gets married, so there will be plenty of stress next holiday season.
Glad you are feeling good but I'm sorry about the reason. I hope you continue to feel good after your treatments and that all goes well for you.
