Chemo day approaches (can't say I'm overly looking forward to it) and I'm still a miniature whale. Tomorrow I go for my PET scan, thursday I have my colposcopy (to check the the odd cells in my cervix) and then I have pre-chemo bloods being done straight after that along with consent signing AND Friday I start chemo.
I still feel like crap. My stomach is no smaller and it's uncomfortable. It's hard to breathe when I walk about and I generally feel nauseas from the pressure build up. I had a scan yesterday and it's not currently life-threatening so they won't do anything about it. But I do have a small amount of fluid around my kidneys and enlarged ovaries. Apparently, even in this condition, it's okay to still begin chemotherapy. So i imagine by the weekend I will be not overly amused. But I suppose it's all part of the experience!!
fortunately my boyfriend is coming over tonight and keeping me company till Monday morning, which will be nice. He usually only sees me at weekends but this week is particularly stressful and as he's not working he's going to help cheer me up. Which is lucky for me. Because it's all a bit much at the moment. I just wish my bloody tummy would shrink back to normal.
If it doesn't I'm definitely going to look like a Buddha when my hair falls out haha
Anyway.... that's an update for now. Hopefully I will be a bit more uplifted in my next post :)
