C3D5

Sitting at home, watching TV and feeling just a little sorry for myself. Today (Monday) I've spent the day at home, with a pretty severe headache. Didn't move most of the day, and spent a decent amount of it asleep. A pity, really, as the weekend was a pretty good one, although Thursday and Friday were extremely ordinary. Back-tracking..........

Cycle 3 started on Thursday, and went very smoothly. I'd had a meeting with the oncologist on Wednesday, and he'd taken me through the process from here. I will have a CT scan in Canberra today fortnight. By then, half way through the treatment, the cancer should be showing one of two situations: either unchanged or worse, in which case we need to vary the treatment, or showing signs of improvement, in which case we consider what to do next - positively!! I'm feeling very confident - and quietly, so is the oncologist.

Thursday afternoon and Friday I was as ordinary as I've been. Very lethargic, easily tired and very fuzzy in the head. The anti-nausea drugs seemed to be working overtime, with me doing lots of heavy gulping hoping nothing else eventuated! Then on Saturday and Sunday, I felt pretty well, and we did a fair amount, including visiting WhiteHart Vineyard and going for a couple of walks. Then Harry Potter in the comfort of Dendy Premium (the only cinema which gives FF points!). Great movie and a very presentable pizza delivered directly to the Jason Recliner!! Fantastic!

Today, average and very dusty. This evening, tho, a little better. Top Gear cheered me right up!!

Oh and the hair? So far, its hanging in there: wispier than before, but sort of cute - or at least thats' what Gaye says, and she wouldn't lie to me!! THe girls in the clinic expect me to be nude-nutted each time they see me. Bad luck, kids.
