A positive view

 As so many people have been kind enough to ask me how I am getting on, I thought it might be a good idea to return to this blog and then I won’t have to keep repeating myself!  Noticing the original title I will try to keep as positive as possible although I know you will forgive me if I have a bit of a wobble now and then

So, this Friday I embark upon the road that so many others have travelled before me, that of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.  The chemo will be once every third Friday for either 4 or 6 cycles, then I have a four week gap and then 5 weeks Monday to Friday radio therapy plus two or three different ones, possibly, it depends. It was a bit of a shock, as originally the surgeon had said he thought the cancer was contained, but after the hysterectomy he found there were already some nasties in the lymph nodes they took for biopsy

I feel very calm at the moment,  lots of people are praying for me, which most of you will know means a great deal to me.  Alan needs your prayers too, that he will stay calm about it and that I will be able to look after him properly.  We have had a carer coming in for four hours on a Friday afternoon for some time, which allowed me to go out and not be clock watching.  I also had someone come in to give him his shower while my hysterectomy healed.  That’s being extended now so I will have someone here for an hour on a Tuesday and a Thursday morning.  My cleaner comes for two hours on a Monday morning and I have friends who will come and sit with Alan on the chemo mornings until the carer arrives.

Not much else to say yet, I will report back once I find out how the first treatment affects me. 

Love to all xx
