Day 102

Sorry I have not been with you for a while, I managed to get an infection last week. I woke up Sunday morning with a sore tongue which I have had with the chemo before, but by the end of Tuesday my mouth was sore, it was spreading along my gum line and my glands were up on the right hand side of my throat. So I am now on antibiotics and feeling all better now. The doctor said that ordinarily it's the sort of infection that I would have fought off by myself but because my immune system is compromised with the chemo, it managed to get a grip. I have had lots more complications with this course of chemo, last year it was like a walk in the park. I really feel as if I have been treated this time. It also feels different - last year I didn't feel as if I had got rid of it, and I hadn't. This time I feel as if I have really kicked it into touch. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
