run bike swim beat cancer

I’m writing this from the cancer treatment day ward – getting my IV Pertuzumab, I’ve just had my Herceptin – all fine. Being cannulated, and with the saline flushes in between, the whole process takes about two and a half hours depending on how busy the ward is. The nurses, as ever are super nice :-))

The parking here is a total disaster – I parked at the bottom of the hill because I’m able to walk up and down, but there was a huge queue waiting to get into the cancer ward car park 😤

Update from the consultant – all good 😊 👍 😊 heart is fine ❤️❤️ still on the 3 weekly Herceptin and Pertuzumab 🥲 phew !!

More good news – my back is better – hurraaaaayyy.

So I was back running, cycling and swimming – I had one relatively painless run then TOE-GATE !! infected ingrowing toe nail, oh my god, so flippin sore – I couldn’t believe it, I was just ‘come on, give me a break !!!’

I was in the huff (AGAIN !!) – antibiotics and no running – too, too sore. Then, when it started to get better and was bearable ! runnable on !! I hurt the bottom of my big toe – the same one !!!! Seriously – I wanted to cry – or have a few very large (alcoholic) drinks 😩😭 I was actually at the point of thinking why do I bother even trying to run !!!

OK ….that frame of mind didn’t last long, and I didn’t cry and I didn’t have a drink (TT for 2 and a half years !!) instead I took ibuprofen, did some iceing (not cake) and went cycling and swimming instead, and am trying to be patient – again !

So I mean, in general, things are great 😁

Boys (and Chris) are good 😁

Craving McDonalds chips 🍟 is that normal ?
