 These needles don't get any sodding easier!!! Still got another 7 Herceptin to go.... so another 21 weeks of the bastards!! Oncology appointment this week was a bit of a downer :( because I'm in quite a bit of constant bone pain im being sent for more imaging and a bone scan, to double check for bone secondaries. Plus where it showed up before Christmas that my L3/4 vertebrae are osteoporotic & very thinned, they're starting me on a bone strengthening programme, back to drips every three weeks again, alongside the two injections. Just as I start feeling more normal getting back to being me again, boom my best mates Drip & curveball are back 😔. Plus my Vitamin D levels are at rock bottom. So I'm on daily calcium and vit D, still taking the heart meds, anticoags, and hormone tablets..... im beginning to rattle again!! All I can describe the calcium supplements like are chewing chalk!! Delightful!! I have to have a full dental exam before I can start the drip bone strengthener to make sure any dental work has been done and healed now, as there's a high chance of my jaw disintegrating once I'm on treatment and then have to have work done! Thanks onc for that lovely bit of info!! Although she did also prescribe a holiday too... my body needs vit d & sunshine!! My hands and shoulders are randomly bruising up, and across my chest my veins have become super superficial, looking like a spiders web! Another issue they're having to check up and keep an eye on! My neck veins are still cording and superficial clotting, all good fun eh! And someone told me Cancer was easy..... 😂 Plus some actual good news, I've lost 11.5kg in weight since oct/Nov time..... this girl is coming back!! 💪💪 still not feeling anything like what I used to mind, but least the weight dropping is something! And I can also get my curls into a tiny tiny ponytail!! Small things 😂 So another week until I'm back for my Herceptin injection..... the grind continues! And then the Cancer Research London 10km at the weekend! Xxx

 So another few weeks have passed since my last blog post. Fitness Nationals, Christmas, New Year & birthday have all flown by! First stop was Leicester and the National Finals to the Fitness Awards! I was super excited about these, and then the germs hit.... I went down with a horrible chest infection just before I headed up north, and to be honest, I felt rough as hell the entire night!! The conference was good, but unfortunately showed up my massive lacking of confidence nowadays. And the night out was awesome, couldn't have asked to spend it with a better bunch, drinking left over red wine we nabbed from the dinner at 4am in the hotel, pretty much sums it up! Plus none of us will ever forget the golden horse.... now a permanent Christmas decoration at the gym! Carried on my injections over the Christmas break, and trust me they don't get any easier!! They still hurt like biatches!! The festive period was a very homely affair, with us appreciating the fact all four of us are still round the dinner table this year. However cliche that sounds, true fact, three of us could have died in the last 365 days! So very appreciative of the fact we're all still here! Very quiet day, completely 100% different to last years.... where I was hugging a bucket the entire day wanting to dig a deep hole and not resurface. Fell asleep at 5... woke Boxing Day, I can only assume I was a tad tired! Seeing as I did the exact same on Boxing Day too!! New year came and went, finally no medical issues on the eves, to content with! And finally we reached my 28th.... another day I was dreading! Having spent two days in over it last year, it was amazing to not be up there for it, and be in work running spin instead! Plus the mother made me 28 cupcakes.... Need I say more, I enjoyed my birthday!! Birthday night out on the other hand... yet again I feel let down by so called mates. I don't know why I even get my expectations up anymore! Happens every year, and even more so over the last 18months! But hey ho, it was nice catching up with my two friends who did make the effort! And that's one of life's biggest things I've learnt this year.... who my true friends are!! Roll on 2017.... healthy and happy 🙏🏻 xxx  |
