Hi Lesley,
So sorry to hear you have had such a difficult time from your first chemo.
I hope you are now picking up having stopped the meds, and hopefully on Tuesday your oncologist will be able to start you on something else. Meanwhile I hope you are able to rest, thinking of you.
Take care

Hi Lesley,
That's a lovely photo of you!
Brilliant you have been able to have Christmas Day today, there are no rules to say it has to be on the 25th!
Enjoy! Glad you are feeling a bit better.

Yes, a great photo. Look forward to hearing that the chemo is getting easier to cope with as you go forward in your treatment.
You were lucky to have a mince pie. I have combed the shops here in Jersey and they were all sold out by today. Had to make do with a piece of fruit cake and the remnants of a chocolate orange.

Hi Lesley,
Love the new cabinet, very stylish...too good for medical notes haha, jolly things, I have a huge expanding file with all my stuff in!

Hi Debbie,
Welcome! I hope you pick up soon in the next few days. Chemo is very hard, I remember just counting each day, thinking ok I've got to the end of, or got through day 1,2,3 etc, then waking up thinking ok I got through the night. I do feel for you, hope things improve.

Hope you both enjoyed your Christmas in spite of feeling unwell. Good luck with your reduced tablets Lesley.
I had too much alcohol and pud. These days a ‘Happy Hour’ for me is a nice nap.

I hope the reduced meds will be easier for you to tolerate and cope with. Hang in there my friend. ♥️🙏🤗
Hi Rob,
Still, even now working through the mince pies. Not just any mince pies mind.....haha. I fell asleep this afternoon, couldn't stay awake. X

Your mince pies sound a bit like the ones my Mum used to make. There was so much brandy in them, it would squirt out when you took a bite.

Better not encourage me. The jokes get older and dafter.

Your daugter sounds so lovely. How does her mini dachsund with the big attitude get on with Barney?
As Lou says, we will be thinking of you tomorrow. Will miss your posts. Take good care.
