Day 106

I have done it!!! Completed my second course of chemotherapy. And bless her, the nurse got the canula in the first time. A perfect ending to a necessary evil. I am feeling just fine at the moment, if a little bit tired. I also spoke to the doctor, the swelling in my ankles and hand is down to the steroids, they have caused muscle wastage in my thigh muscles so I have to wait around 4 weeks to see if the pain goes off. If it does, it was the steroids, if it wasn't I have to go back to my GP as it could be something else.. oh I hope it isn't, not sure that I can take any more of my body being rebellious. I want to start exercising and getting rid of the weight that I have put on, also exercising is proven to assist with the recovery and remission of cancer. I am so relieved this is over. I will sleep tonight, I know it. As my friend Bryher said, tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life - thank you my diamond friend. I am making plans for my future and looking forward to getting on with my life without feeling like a lab rat for a while. What a wonderful Christmas present.
