Day 29

I dedicate todays entry to my dearest friend and addicted reader Bryher..you will never know how much support you have given to me over the last year or so, being able to hold your little finger in my mind when I have my chemo, just knowing I have a friend out there who really knows what I am going through because you have gone through it too.. you are my angel and if nothing else comes out of this dreadful experience..I have found you. For goodness sake next time can we both work in the same shop or something!!!!

Thanks to Bryher and the fact that I actually slept last night (bar the eating Weetabix at 3am as I woke up hungry) I have had a fabulous day. I am tired at the moment but its a healthy tired, I have not had any cramps at all today, a little pain in my liver area but I am feeling 100% better compared to earlier in the week. My scalp is covered in little spots at the moment - its the toxins coming out, that is why my head has been so sore. I have some on my chest as well but not as bad. Every day, as I lie in my bed, I think to myself.. have I had a good day? I was chatting with another friend today, she has a perma-grin - always smiling. She was almost killed in a car accident. We have the same mentality. How many of us go from day to day in the same routine just moving through the day without actually thinking. So every night as I lie in bed I say.. have I had a good day. And you know what..pretty much every night I say yes. I have laughed. I have loved my son. I have achieved something - even if its making someone smile who needed to. I have good days.
