Nearly reached the one week marker after chemo. The last few days have been quite tough. I havent had a moment without feeling nauseous despite having so many anti sickness meds. I probably couldn’t tell you what I have done in the past few days either as my head has been everywhere. Today is aContinue reading “Love and kindness has no limit!”

Woke up in the morning feeling good and then went to the hospital to get my bottle removed. After this it all went downhill very quickly. Started feeling so nauseous and still am. I think it is the worst it has ever been in all my chemo cycles. Emotions running wild too😪. Rainbow colours:🏳️‍🌈 fingersContinue reading “Chemo #10- Day 2”

Very mixed emotions over the last few days. Chemo day was nearing and anxiety kicking in. Anxiety about what? First of all the initial inserting of needle into my portacath. It is my least favourite part of the day at hospital. But the great thing is it is over and done with at the beginning.🎉Continue reading “Chemo #2 second round”

Today i was up at 7am surprisingly fresh although am still feeling quite nauseous so have taken anti sickness meds. Here I am in bed eating ginger biscuits(in my secret food stash next to my bed) which really do help in the moment. Thanks DH💙 First 2 days after chemo were fine and I feltContinue reading “Chemo 9 Day 4”

We were hoping for the scan results to be better than they were. Good news is that the liver surgery was successful and other shadows have shrunk. But some enlarged lymph nodes have shown up. Need to zap them with immunotherapy in addition to the chemo. So here I am back in the hospital aboutContinue reading “Back to chemo!!”

Hi! It has been a long time since I have written so just thought I would fill you in. I have had the liver surgery 4 weeks ago now and am recovering well Alhamdulillah (praise be to God). My energy is coming back too so that’s probably why I have not really had the timeContinue reading “Touching base!!”

What amazing weather we have had recently! Waking up to the sun shining through the window…it’s the best thing! Played in the garden with the kids again. DS was very polite and strategic about telling me that I was too slow! He went in front of me in the obstacle course he had set upContinue reading “☀️Sunshine ☀️”

Honestly don’t know where to start! It has been a long time since my last post. Firstly, I am fine and have actually been busy getting back to doing normal things like cooking, cleaning and spending time with the kids!! (Catching up on almost 6 months of their lives which I missed due to myContinue reading “Where do I start?”

So the Corona virus needs to be mentioned. It seems to have taken over our attention at the moment and yes it is worrying especially for those who are vulnerable. I pray for the protection of everyone! But what a wake up call!Are we actually the ones in control of our lives? A virus whichContinue reading “🏳️‍🌈Let’s find the rainbow colours today🏳️‍🌈”

I am eagerly waiting to be able to have more anti sickness meds so I thought I would write as it always passes my time! So having just had International Women’s day on Sunday, it sparked a conversation with DB and DN about the importance of women. Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) sprung to my mind immediatelyContinue reading “Hi again!”
