UMV95 - The day before Chemo

I'm struggling to find words today - to type, to talk, to do anything really. It doesn'ty bode well for my shift that starts at 6pm but the schedule of tomorrow is starting to play on my mind.
Our little break away was amazing! It was lovely to be walking through an airport again and the days away flew on by far too quickly.
Now its back to sort out the last few things for before chemo starts tomorrow.

    It’s the fear of the unknown. Don’t just take each day as it comes - take each minute at a time. Once you have got through tomorrow it will be a little easier the next time and the time after that. Remember everyday is a day closer to you smashing this. I remember the day before chemo clearly - like it was yesterday. You have got this! Big hugs ❤❤❤

    Be careful of feeling pressure to be a warrior or fighter, just trust the process and turn up every day. Listen to your own intuition, and get through it. You will have a better support network when you're on the other side.

My partner (Carole)was diagnosed with lung cancer last year, they were fantastic here and she ended up having a robotic wedge resection to remove the tumour. We were back here today for a CT scan. Our vehicle is an old disabled bus that we've converted. Anyway all the best and our thoughts are with you both

You are one strong lady in so many different ways. Your family will be there to help you through the practicalities and emotional support and you have your internet community standing behind you ready to catch you on the days it feels overwhelming.

The cycles of treatment seem so daunting as you start, but once you get into the chemo routine, time sort of flies (it did for me at least) and you’ll get through. I did sort of end up obsessing/dreaming about real food though! Best wishes to the both of you. Take care.

    Hiya Mandy I had Bowel Reconstruction 15 months ago when I got diagnosed with Chrons 😢the operation and illness has changed me as a person ..... Yesterday I started on Biological Treatment Humira Injections I had to have a huge dose which was 4 Injections which I'm so proud to say I did them myself then 14 days time I have 2 Injections then one every fortnight and this is because the chrons has become active again about 7 months ago and the pain is unbearable... Like yourself I cant have raw eggs and red meats raw fish ect ... Its learning to be careful with everything we do face masks washing sanitising our hands all the time ..... My sister said treat it like Covid which I thought was a good idea .... Im hoping 🙏 you I dont know how to word it but im hoping the road ahead is kinder to you as you go through your Treatment ... You are such an inspiration keep a journal with us as you go through your Treatment im wishing you 💛 all the best it can be through your Treatment Mandy .... I wil, follow you along this road and hope everything goes well for when you reach the end of your Treatment...I also im hoping for remission with my treatment......
