All done! We arrived at the chemo ward and were welcomed by the receptionist and given an introductory speech which included a warning that we might need to wait for an hour as it is very busy on Wednesdays. We sat on a beautiful purple sofa to wait and within 5 minutes we were called. It was very well organised - my drugs were ready and the sister administered them herself. They had discussed the difficulty of quantities of fluid that is usually added with the chemo and had decided to add the drugs by hand and use a small amount of fluid between drugs. It all went very smoothly and was finished within an hour. I now have to wait and see what happens. I have been given strong drugs for anti-sickness which is one of the main side effect of the drugs I am taking. I am OK so far so we will see. I am glad we are doing this and that I have restarted.

Thank you to the 2 ladies who took and collected us. It was lovely to spend time with you. We really appreciate your help.

I spent the afternoon with another lovely friend who chatted about craft things and inspired Chloe and I to do more patchwork. I am looking forward to another visit and to beginning sewing a patchwork piece myself - joy in each day.

I am feeling very tired now but glad this day is done. Thankful to be surrounded by such lovely friends and family and that the creator of the universe walks with me.

  1. So glad things went smoothly for you today. Long may that last!! We had the talent show today and very enteraining as usual although I think Diana was probably the funniest with her asides which we all found very funny. Particularly enjoyed the boys 'mind reading' efforts!! Lots of hula hooping this year..no ideas why, it seemed to be a trend. The staff choir sang under Rosies direction and all went well and we had a lovely lunch, but missed you being there. Last lap tomorrow, everyone has worked so hard to clean everything, we are very lucky to work in a place where everyone wants to do their best all the time. Hope to see you at the BBQ, have a good day tomorrow, take care and lots of love, Ann xxx
