DAY 3 CHEMOTHERAPY

 It's me again.

Today started off as the worst day so far. I had my meds, they weren't going down properly. I couldn't swallow properly. I felt nauseous from drinking too much. I had some side effects from the meds. It was really upsetting. Then I was fine afterwards. The docs and nurses came to check up on me. Then my first chemo session started. I was hooked up to the drip. It reminds me of Lincoln Burrows when he was strapped to the electric chair. It's a Prison Break reference if you don't know. 

I chatted to my family. Made a card for the docs and nurses. It was a really fun experience. The nurses were quite chuffed. After a while I just blogged. Then while I was on the phone to my lovely auntie, I had some bad side effects of chemo. I was shaking and afterwards I was shivery, I had a bad headache, blurred vision, and pins and needles in the right foot. It was not a pleasurable feeling. I felt really nauseous as well. It was all to do with anti-sickness. I just went in a different room and sat there. 

I also got to choose a really cool blanket. It was probably made by someone! It's really colourful. My male parental came later on in the evening. We just sat and chatted. It got emotional, but he told me some brilliant advice; he said start a new chapter, and forget about the past. Everything is forgotten. Just focus on yourself and your health. You are number 1 now. It felt really great to get all these things off my chest to him. Then before he went he tucked me in bed. Even I'm really grateful to the female parental as she looked out for me so much yesterday. She's a true angel. 

I also made cards for the staff in the hospital. Then read some Manga. I got into the bed and started reading this book. It was a series on Netflix called YOU. Man like Joe Goldberg! I spoke to my relatives in Blackburn on video call. It was a nice end to the day. Even though it wasn't the greatest day to begin with. I wasn't allowed to go home due to my side effects. Sad times. 

Okay I'll stop rambling. 

I will let you guys sit on your recliners, and read on and on. 

Bye for now.

RINGING THE BELL

 Hey guys, Ringing the bell was a special experience for me. It was all about celebrating how far I'd come as a survivor of cancer. I got to the hospital and in the waiting room I was waiting for my sisters and brother and nieces. I wore a pink dress as pink is the main colour that represents cancer. I had to read a poem and got a certificate. I rang the bell and everyone cheered. Then I took a whole bunch of pictures with my siblings and mom and nurses. It was really exciting to get to do this as I have been waiting for so long. Now it's on to the next chapter of my life. I'm grateful for everything the nurses and doctors did for me so I could get a clean bill of health. I went home so proud of achieving this moment, which I'll remember forever.  That's all I've got for now. Enjoy.  Vote. Comment. Share.

BEING HOSPITALISED FROM 8TH TO 14TH OCT AND 19TH TO 21ST OCT

 Hi my amazing readers, Long time no see. I ended up in hospital cuz I wasn't feeling too great. I kept sleeping and my whole body was on fire. The pain was crazy. I went in and was admitted straight away. I was put on IV Paracetamol, fluids, had blood transfusions, had some medication for my sore mouth. Basically I had the full shebang. I had to be hooked up to machines, which wasn't fun, it was like Linc the Sink in Prison Break all over again. Remember when he was in the electric chair? I hated it, but it was making me better. I had to be moved to a bigger bay area where I had to share with another girl, I didn't talk much cuz I didn't want to get too attached. It's sad because you don't know what could happen to a person on your ward. I was constantly sleeping due to being on Amitriptyline, This is a medicine, which knocks you out so essentially it takes away all your pain. Then I had this jap called Deltaparin, which stops you from getting blood clots. The ...
