I think it is safe to say that the last month or so have been one of the toughest for me so far. I have rrqlised hiw lucky i have been not to have much ‘cancer related pain’ so far. Yes the cancer seems to have gone to other places. But at the same timeContinue reading “Excruciating pain.”

So they have spotted some new areas in the lungs this time which they think are most likely cancer. Having more tests to confirm this before we plan the next steps of treatment. I have a lung biopsy next week which is obviously something completely new to me. I am anxious. Apparently it is notContinue reading “Just when you think you know all the possible outcomes of a scan…”

Hey all!! I have been having the best time over the last few weeks during my time off from chemo! Getting stronger by the day and trying not to think about doctors and treatment! Been driving as well which is just so liberating!! But the time has arrived. I have spent last week having scansContinue reading “Ready for whatever is next…”

It’s been 5 weeks since my last chemo and i am feeling stronger by the day Alhamdulillah! The heart tests came clear and nothing to worry about.

I have to say, i was secretly relieved and excited about theContinue reading “Chemo tomorrow hopefully!”

Day 9 and i am feeling o mich better now..even went with hubby to pick up the kids from school. Oddly, it felt so normal. Like before. And mum called to pick up food on the way home. Just like she used to! Before my diagnosis. And before lockdown. When i was living the chaos!Continue reading “Day 9 and Feeling so much better!”
