After the last round of chemo...whereby I ended up staying with friends due to side effects ( blessed to have Lincoln and Trudy Baty!) For 8 nights instead of the 1 night I had originally
planned...
We decided it would be more comfortable for me to have a residential home to recuperate at.
So.... I have a lovely house in Rolleston that I moved in to 3 days ago.
It has meant that I don't have to rush home after treatment if I'm feeling awful ( tbh that's an understatement!! ...it's freaking horrendous)
I can enjoy the comforts of a "home away from home "
It's much nicer not living out of a suitcase and not having to get on a plane or drive if I'm feeling disgusting.
The team...especially the Clinical Nurse Specialists ( huge gratitude for Jen and Eli ) at St Georges have been incredibly supportive.
I am as "happy" as I can be...without Jjmmy and our Kiddos.
Jimmy has been unbelievably amazing to me throughout this tough time.
He has tirelessly held the fort at home and worked 2 jobs to help pay for our lifestyle..including cancer care.
I don't know what I would have done without his support and love.
I have not been the easiest patient/person....in general.
My mental health was affected by Dexamethazone during the chemotherapy and post treatment 2 rounds ago I ended up very elevated in mood.
Hypomania was unkind to everyone and I have many things/relationships that are in tatters due to my behavior and actions during that time.
