Finishing line is in sight!!

On last hour & a half of hydration. The blood is ready & waiting to start my transfusion as soon as hydration is finished. I should be all done by 4pm & then I can go HOME!!!!!
I started being sick at 6am this morning & have been sick four times. YUCK!!!
I feel awful!

I am half way there though now so that's good.

On Monday morning at the hospital I passed my blood test (just) so I could start round 3 of chemo. After the chemo this time I'm going to have a blood transfusion to help me recover quicker. Reckon I'll be skipping out of here then!!!!
Dr. Brennen is a bit worried that I have lost 3kg in weight so she is getting a dietician to come & see me while i'm in hospital.

THE BEST NEWS EVER IS THAT ACCORDING TO MY MRI SCAN MY LUMP IS LESS THAN HALF THE SIZE IT WAS AFTER ONLY 2 CHEMOS!!!!!!!!!

After chemo on left, before chemo on the right... 

That explains why I can do this

Fighting My Cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Tuesday I got a cold and my nose was running like a tap!!!! I got bannned from school because of too many coughs & colds going around. I kept myself busy at home.

Breakfast before school

Had a good breakfast before school today.

Need to keep my strength up.
Pancake with chocolate sauce then hot chocolate and SQUIRTY CREAM... Mmmmm

Went back to school for the afternoon

Back To Normal Again!!!!!!!!

I am feeling much better today and considering going to school tomorrow!!!!! We started doing my injections again today!!!!!!OUCH!!!!!!!!!! I suppose that if they make me feel better they are worth it though!!!!!

I cannot stop eating pasta with cheese on top.....  YUM YUM...

Home again!!!!!

Thursday 9th

I was sick in hospital on Thursday night but didn't tell the nurses because we just wanted to get Home! Daddy found a wheelchair in the carpark- trust him to do something like that! It is coming in very handy though, as one of the side effects is feeling dizzy and light headed when I stand up! I just can't believe how many annoying side effects there are!

We got home at 10pm & I went straight to bed.

Friday 10th

In the morning I still didn't feel great and still felt sick. I spent the day on the sofa and tried to have some pasta and milk but seconds after swallowing it I was sick. But at least I tried to have something! I was sick twice on Friday and could barely keep my eyes open so in the evening when mum was at work I had I little sleep which made me feel a bit better. Then I got my confidence up to try and have some more milk and I wasn't sick!!!!!!! Then went straight up to bed!

Saturday 11th

This morning I decided that I wanted some more milk and I wasn't sick! I had to go to Nan's house while mum was at work and dad had to take Milly training at Manchester's Aquatics Centre near my hospital! 

When we got home I got my confidence up to try some more pasta and it stayed down!!!!!!!!

In the evening, Milly and I had a nail painting session as I got a nail art kit present - thank you!

For tea I had a few chips, pork steak and unfortunately peas, which I just ate because I knew my mum wouldn't let me get away with it!

Then straight to bed!

2nd Chemo almost over!!!!!!!

Bit better this time but still feel a  little bit sick.

I have had all the chemo now for this session.

 9:10pm tonight I will start 24 hours of flush to wash the chemo back out .

THEN I CAN GO HOME!!!!!!!!

Keeping busy in hospital

I did crafts in the play room and in my bed...

and had lots of trips to the toilet..... with my robot....

2nd Chemo up and running!

We had an early morning start to get to the hospital for my second lot of chemo. On the way I was really scared of the chemo being as bad as last time but when we got here Dr. Brennan said that I definitely won't be sick with this new antisickness. Even though she was very confident about it I am not sure whether to believe her or not.

I had fish and chips for my lunch and then went to school hoping that the chemo will be ready to start at about 3. While I was at school, the nurse came in to say that she can't do the antisickness through my line because I only have two pipes and they need both for the chemo:-(. She gave me the option of either the same antisickness as last time (errrrr..... no!) or put a canula in and do the antisickness through there. So of course I chose the canula because I'd prefer to have a canula in for 4 days than be up all night being sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They started the chemo about 3:30pm. I had pizza for my tea and then loads of chocolate trifle for my pudding!!!!!!! Then I was really full!!!!!!!!! Then sat up in bed and did some colouring seen as I feel fine so far. Fingers crossed it will stay like that!!!

 

Normality

Sally was buzzing today. Went dog walking to try & get rid of some energy!!

Hair Cut Time!

My hair was starting to get really thin and it looked awful. It was getting really annoying as well because I was forever picking hair off things like my food! I wanted to get it shaved off! So we put my hair in a platt and my mum cut it off at the top while the rest of my family kept messing with my hair that had fallen out! That made me laugh a lot!!!!!!!! Personally, I don't think I suited short hair but everyone thinks I do! Milly went swimming but when she got back we shaved my hair off. At first it felt really weird but I have got used to it now. This morning we went back to Manchester to get my wig. The lady had found us a really good colour which was good! Then she went off to go and curl it! It looks just like my hair! I love it!
