run bike swim beat cancer

Last night and tonight we had an awesome chilli made by an awesome guy (not Chris, although he still gets mega brownie points for buying cheesecake!).

This awesome guy also cooked and brought us awesome food throughout my last chemo treatment, during lockdown (and a cosy bobble hat when I was bald and had a cold head !!) That out and out kindness is just, well…..awesome !! (We’ll call him big J).

No sleep last night – still wired on the steroids. I also had really bad stomach cramps and D. – common side effects from the Herceptin. Had to get painkillers and a hot water bottle (that didn’t help the night sweats !).

I had my MUGA heart scan today – I was a little bit worried – the last time I had one I passed out / whitied !! Because they couldn’t find my veins today went fine though – my veins are still ok. Chris was surprised they found a heart !!! Haha.

I went for a nice wee swim on the way back – feels good to be in the water. It also helps with rehabbing my mastectomy. My arm/ pec / side is still weak and the scar is tight over my ribs, but it felt really good today 🙂

Also tried to go for a wee run after lunch, and after a coffee – not good with Herceptin and a dodgy tummy :-//

The run started off good – felt comfortable, lovely weather, enjoying myself. But my stomach got really sore and crampy and I had to stop twice :-((( felt better afterwards and enjoyed the last 3 miles 🙂 still…. it reminded me that I’m not invincible and I have to be sensible !!

Arrived home to a lovely surprise 💐 from the lovely M3 tri club ❤️ ❤️

And the boys are back in town :-)))) xxxx ❤️❤️❤️
