Sorry life is so difficult for you atm, Shirley. I hope you will feel better soon and the ct shows no more problems. Treat yourself kindly and stay positive. Hope brighter days are ahead in every way

I am sorry to read that you are struggling. I hope things improve for you soon <3 <3

Hope you are managing a chill day, Shirley.....thinking of you <3

Thanks folks

It’s the chemo side effects kicked in

My daughter did say they often get worse with each session

Thank goodness it’s only four , I hope !

After 3 it’s a CT scan which hopefully won’t find any new tumours then the last one and then a course of pelvic targeted radiotherapy including two internally to where the cervix was

Oh am nearly bald now , the clippers are on charge for a head shave ;-)

Aw Shirley, so sorry to hear this.
Sending you some big hugs and hope you feel better soon. <3

I have had two bee awful days

Didn’t even shower and dress yesterday as felt really rough and exhausted

Was in and out of bed all day too

So did sleep in fits and starts last night , found supporting my leg on a pillow helped too

Am up now and sitting quietly in the recliner so hopefully it will be a quiet day when I can just chill


:-(

Has anyone heard how Shirley is getting on now?

How are you now Shirley, haven't seen you on here for a couple of days.

Had second chemo on wed and was very tired after it

The knee played up really badly last night ,one of the side effects is muscles pain in joints , strangely it’s the knee replacement one that hurts the most

After tossing and turning all night and paracetamol having no effect I was down at 4am and put the heat pad on it

Managed to stop it twitching with pain and it’s settled into a stiff knee pain

Went back to bed and got 2 hours sleep

Gonna be ker nackered later on

And the hair is getting very sparse now too !! :-(

Sending hugs Shirley <3 <3 <3

That's 1 less to go then for your treatment. A friend of mine had beautiful fine platinum blonde long hair and lost it with chemo. Now it is a light brown and wavy and she wears it in a short style, but still looks lovely on her. Yours will soon grow back and just that first inch will cover your scalp. With one thing or another I expect your knee will take a bit longer to heal. Best wishes. :-)

:-D :-D

Hope it all goes well for you Shirley, meanwhile tell everyone it's your second childhood and you're a punk rocker!

Shirley when we look good we feel good :-D
