Yvie Chemo Diary 

2 May 2016

Ahhh was really fatigued on 7th day after Chemo and had a terrible time going to the loo!  Another effect of Chemo... But found a cure Raw Carrots lol. Its seems all raw veg seem to help. I am Juicing them on a daily basis with fruit mainly strawberries, oranges and lemon it takes away that metallic taste too. My Oncologist says I have had a " unremarkable recovery post surgery" as tumour was fully removed... But Adjuvant Chemo recommended for TNBC.... Still wonder if I needed the Chemo then! But probably will never know as Cancer is a creeper... You never know when or where it will show up.  So maybe I made the best choice for ME ... Preventing it is my only option.... So must forget the "maybe" ... Live the life you love... And love the life you live
 My Mum turned up today too ... Was glad to see her ... She was ill so did not come to look after me after Chemo. Was so pleased to see her and Robin... Even listening to their golden age conversations was fun... She has been good at taking care of me and it stops me from trying to do it all alone. She came with good food, flowers, plants ... At last we are building a good bond over juicing recipes. Some good things come out of bad. I am tired and need her to help me rest.. Although by looks of her luggage she maybe moving in! Arrgh!   Still she makes me slow down and i get to sleep more while they take over the house. Still using the Frankincense ..with coconut oil... Its certainly helping my skin..Plus using The Lavender oil helps me to sleep. Next Chemo 16 May ... Learning to combat the side effects has become my main focus... And staying healthy in the meantime. This diary helps too! and sharing it with my daughters lets them know Mum is coping with this dreaded journey ...Yeah "C" we gonna kick your butt... Don't mess with ME
