run bike swim beat cancer

It HAS been a pretty good week. My appetite is still good and I have no nausea. I have plenty of energy, my mouth is ok, not sore – I am still using adult toothpaste !! My stomach is up and down !? but mostly under control. I’ve been out for a few little runs and felt ok – I’ve made sure I run as easy as possible and don’t tire myself out – I promise !!! double promise !!! (only one cycle and no swims 😦 ).

I had a good appetite and felt good for our early Christmas before Rory goes away off on holiday. Presents and Christmas pizza :-)))))

I also went to a great skincare and make-up workshop at the Maggie Centre. The ladies who took the session were friendly and helpful, and not at all preachy or caked in make up !! which I was slightly worried about….‘does everyone cleanse, tone and moisturise twice a day ?’ …. ummm, I wash my face in the shower – does that count lol 😂 and I wasn’t embarrassed to admit that because the ladies running the session and the others on the workshop were really down to earth and lovely. I met some chatty, cheery and funny ladies at the workshop, who were all the same as me !! with little or no hair, eyebrows or eyelashes – it’s actually so nice to talk to other people going through the same things – I didn’t ever think I would appreciate that – I’m a bit too independent and I think I’m in control !? but I really did appreciate it. I didn’t go to the Maggie centre the first time round, but I can definitely say everyone is so friendly and it is quite comforting and liberating to talk, even if you don’t think you need it or want it !!

I went for a run after the make-up session in full face make up hahaha and felt fabulous !!!! in the dark 😆

So…..back to reality…..chemo number 3 tomorrow :-((( I’m kind of dreading it – fingers crossed it goes a little bit better this time and there is no need for bubble wrap on the toilet floor 🙄 !! I’ll starting a new book tomorrow, so I’m looking forward to that 🙂 and I AM more than half way through :-))
