Humpday Wednesday
Morning lovely peeps Saw Prof yesterday and we compromised on having 2 Velcade injections (plus some steroids and the usual gibbons – hence I've been up since 3am and now have my lovely rouge 'steroid face' on) this week. Managed to dodge the Revlimid bullet in the end, so that's handy. Will start a 4…

Last Day Before It All Starts Again
The calm before the (shit)storm……. Having been off treatment for a couple of weeks now I feel SO much better. Went to what we call the Secret Carpark in Richmond Park yesterday and managed the longest walk I have done in months, with H, our mate Jules and the dog beast. Probably about a mile,…

Thank God It’s Friday
Hurrah, fast forward three days since leaving hospital and I feel much better.

The Friday Update
Well, things today are a good few steps up from yesterday so that's a good start. Temperature has come back down via the IV drug bombardment, although I have come out with a splendid case of cherry red face and cleavage probably due to taking yesterday morning's steroids before the planned chemo session – so…

It’s Been ‘A Bit Of A Day’
So yes, I have been feeling increasingly like a bag of shit all week but I had only seen Ray this very Monday, and had a chest X-ray then. How much can go wrong in the two days been then coming back this morning? Quite a lot, so we have just learned… I felt like…

Not Very Well..
I seem to have developed what feels awfully like a bad chest infection, on top of mY existing breathing issues, both of which combined mean I am struggling to get my breath. Which feels pretty scary as I sit gargling for air. So my Monday this week turned into a day I hadn't planned for.…
