I listened to the advice of my support network and my body and took it easy this weekend. Although the general advice is not to take to your bed during the treatment and play the victim, sometimes you have to give into it to allow your body to cope instead of fighting it all the time. I did stop short of taking to my bed and mainly lounged on the sofa!
As a result, I am feeling much better today. I am still sore but mentally I am in a much better place. Thank you again to all of you for your love and support that is a complete rescue remedy in those more difficult times.
Much more interestingly… we have been blogged. As a result of Mum mentioning my blog to the Big C when we gave them the cheque, Greg their marketing guy got in touch and asked if they could mention our blog on their blog!
You can click HERE to go straight to the post and have a look, it’s a lovely piece, I think it’s really exciting, I hope you do too!
As we are at the beginning of week 2 for the 5th (and penultimate!) time, I am trying to focus on letting the chemo do its thing, supporting my glory with the visualisation and remaining as relaxed and healthy as possible. I think more creative therapy is called for… and lunch with an old friend tomorrow which I’m really looking forward to. I’ll keep you posted 🙂
Talk to you soon
Lots of love Mand xxx
Lovely “chatting” with you today! Enjoy your lunch tomorrow (let me know how the cheesy courgette dish turns out) Love you,
Booie, Dave and the pups X
Sadly I was unable to attend (but was there in spirits) your mums brilliant coffee morning. Wow! what a result. I checkout your blog daily and it always brings a smile and a wave of admiration for you and your family. Life deals some cruel blows and to read such positive thoughts and actions inspires us all. On and upwards Unicorns. lots of love Julie x
How lovely, that really IS exciting! I am so pleased that Greg mentioned all the support from our friends and family for the coffee morning, we couldn’t have done it without them, could we?
Love you xxx
Hello pink lady, I’m still here. I love all the positive vibes that shine through on your blog and having read your rainbow post, I am feeling a lot more relaxed about the interview I am having in an hours time (got myself a bit worked up over it), you have helped me put things in perspective so I thank you for that. Sorry you have been through the mill a bit this time round but you and Phil are so strong and can take on the world (with help from Dude and Munch of course), keep fighting mate, we are with you all the way. Popping into the Big C shop this afternoon, never know what I might find, will let you know, love Di xxx
