23rd of February

Nearly at the end of the 2nd week of radiotherapy its going quick, it doesn't seem two minutes ago I was just starting. I'm very sleepy today though I don't seem to have the energy but I'm not going to let it beat me. 

Woke with the worst headache ever but had some pain relief and it went. The mouth is very sore my gums really hurt and I've hit the dry mouth stage but this is all normal. 

The journey to Weston park today wasn't very nice with the winds but Pete got me there in plenty of time, had my weekly bloods taken and had a scan all ready for my review and tomorrow with Dr Foran. 

Franchesca and Kristian have both got upset at different times this week about me being ill they have both  asked if I will get better, of course I've reassured them that I am, it's so hard watching my babies cry and worry that their mummy is going to die, Im so lucky to be able to tell them I'm not going to die and I will get better. 

I was telling the nurses about the kids and that I was too ill to bring them on the open evening, they have said I can take them anytime and they will show them what happens when I go, they can go in to the room where I have the radiotherapy then they will take them out and they can stand with them and watch me on the screen while I have the treatment how kind is that so hopefully they will come with me very soon, hopefully this will help with their fears poor little things I so wish I could make it all better for them. 

I came home from hospital today, to be greeted by beautiful gifts and flowers from my lovely Slimming World Members today and to be honest they couldn't have timed it any better just as I was feeling a little low and exhausted boom they sent these how lucky am I.
