Done with chemo. Radiation to go.
10 September 2024
Had last chemo. Number 6. Side effects have been tough. Booked for gastrointestinal camera investigation later as gut pain been so bad. So tired and weak - been trying short walks to get chemo to move through quicker and then I’m done for day. Weak and shaky. Nausea is constant. Fingers numb. But I’m bloody done with chemo. May it never cross my path again. I’m trying to focus on the important things in life. Pets, friends and family. A new grandson on the way. The sun. Spring flowers. Fresh air. Kindness. Smiles. Love. Once I’m strong enough Ive radiation. I was hoping to go stay at the lodge in Hamilton and do down there. It’s every day for three weeks. It would mean meals taken care of and no driving or getting lifts. But they can’t have me as I’m too complicated and needs to be at Auckland hospital. The radiation beam with either miss an area that may have cancer or it will hit my lung. This would mean damage to lung and possibly pulmonary fibrosis or later lung cancer. Kind of lose lose situation so I’m nervous. Hopefully they can minimalise the danger. Seems everything is a pay off. Just need to keep positive. Please pray for me, and I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. It means so much.
