Marathon is looming

So the London marathon is only a few days away now! Eeeeekkk excitement! Nervous but excited!! Can't wait to hear the crowds and feel the pride of going over the finish line! Last January I went over the finish line to 10k as a baldie cancer fighter, Sunday I'll cross the line as a curly haired cancer warrior.

The build up in training hasn't really happened, unfortunately I've not been able to get out for a run due the bone pain ive been suffering with. Just jogging on the spot for a warm up in one of my classes was bring tears to my eyes! Although I am finally feeling a bit easier in my knees at least! More bad news came with my big toe nails! I hate feet and this totally grosses me out too! Losing both nails after chemo, they've been struggling to regrow for a year now! Finally reaching about three quarters the way up! So slow due to keratin levels being depleted during chemo and the hypocalcemia! Eventually as with most growing nails they became ingrown and the words of the doc ''let them get battered at the weekend, then well surgically remove them after'', all so they can regrow properly again! Just something more to look forward to!!


So along with bone pain, toe nails, and constant visits to the chemo suite, phlebotomy and the hospital, the mood swings and hot flushes have become indescribable! Medically endured menopause is not fun!! Hulk tori one minute, crying like an emotional wreck the next, then comes the happy as Larry Tori..... I genuinely feel sorry for my family at the minute!! Then the hot flushes, every twenty minutes or so, feels like I'm burning from the inside out! Cancer, the gift that keeps on giving!! I have been assured that both of these should ease up.... how long is the mystery question though!!


So, Sunday is nigh, the trainers, vest and jelly babies are all packed, and I'm like a child at Christmas, just itching to be on the start line! And I know come Sunday I'll be bricking it instead!! Doing it in aid of Wessex Cancer who've been an awesome support to me during treatment. So if any of you kind folk do fancy donating a few pennies please visit this link http://bit.ly/2k2FGA4 !! Thank you!! I'll bring updates next week when I'll be struggling to walk!!


Off up the hospital now for my Goserelin injection.... yes this is the one with the mighty huge ginormous bore hole needle..... hulk tori is coming!!!
