My life is currently organised into three week segments which conveniently start on Mondays. Week 1 is the treatment week, week 3 is the preparation week and week 2 is all mine to do whatever I want with 🙂
Truth is, this week 2 can’t be about nothing. This latest week 1 has been tough and I need to work on preparing myself both physically and mentally for the next one. The fact is when my bloods were low and I had to be re-tested on Monday before I could have the Chemo, it was a shock and I think it made me take my eye off the ball with the anti-sickness medication and hydration resulting in issues with the nausea continuing for longer, struggling to drink enough and my digestive system almost grinding to a halt with painful consequences. (You don’t need to know any more than that 😉 )
So, I’m bouncing back up into week 2 with a renewed vigour to discover the differences between and the relative benefits of soluble and non-soluble fibre, looking at taking a little exercise directly after meals rather than just the two walks with Phil and Dude morning and afternoon and generally becoming better educated… I’ll keep you posted!
Talk to you soon
Lots of love Mand xxx
