3rd of March

So just got home from my 15th treatment 3rd week finished. 

Yesterday was a road trip to Weston with my friend Rachel, I totally forgot to take a picture, we had a good talk which is nice I cried, again but it's so nice to have different friends to talk to, and after we had finished I told Rachel about Weston Park Cancer Support Centre, so Rachel said let's go in. 

This is another amazing place where I can get treatments to help me through my Cancer journey the ladies where lovely to us, I was offered 4 treatments which will happen through out the rest of my treatment and a pamper day which will happen after my treatment. 

I seem to be feeling more exhausted as we get to the end of the week, but we wanted to take the kids to see their Grandad as they couldn't go on his birthday so off we went. The kids had lots of fun but we didn't leave till a bit later than I really wanted and I when I got home I felt rough, my mouth seems to be creating more salvia now which isn't nice but my throat feels very sore. All of a sudden I felt sick and all this salvia wanted to come out...... yuk. Of course when it stopped my throat now felt roar, feels like one step forward and two back sometimes, I thought come on Amanda you've got to get through this so I took my effervescent paracetamol and put fortisip down my feeding tube and went to bed. 

Today was a road trip with two off my other friends Wendy and Melissa, it was great fun and yes I cried never cried like this before in my life. 

 

I had my treatment and I told the radiotherapy staff what happened last night and they said they thought it best I see the dietitian, so I know how much fortisip to use, I was also seeing Dr Foran today. After the treatment I went to see Dr Foran for my review she said all my bloods were fine and everything that's happening is normal she also gave me stronger pain killers with my throat being so roar.

Wendy and Melissa went off to get my tablets because I needed to see the research nurse. I explained all what's been happening to me, it's all documented for the trial drug, then I was asked if I would have some more bloods taken, but before I did the bloods I went to see the dietitian. I was told to put 2 fortisip for each meal down my tube if I can't eat. 

On the way home I was feeling a little hungry so I thought as soon as I'm home I will get the fortisip down me. 

 Got home Mum and Dad came to pick the kids up from school for me, I went upstairs and started putting the food down my tube, all was good flushed the tube fantastic two bottles in me, I will be strong, then all of a sudden I was sick so I think I should spread the bottles out, I know I'm ok with one but don't think my tummy likes 2 at once so I will just spread them out. 

So I wish you all well hope you all have a lovely weekend. 

Lots of love
