A tough cookie

Huge sighs of relief.

J got the "all clear" yesterday. 6 months of chemotherapy now; beginning in January. 

I've been trying to work out how I feel about this whole dreadful experience. The worst was seeing her undergo surgery, and the immediate recovery period. So vulnerable; battling a chest infection and the ghastly effects of morphine - which made her feel frightened and so out of control of her situation.

J stood up for herself, and insisted on having medication reviewed regularly. Right from the start she was on the case; getting the nurses to tell her the observations they were recording, and suggesting when she felt her medication could be reviewed/increased/reduced. She even rang me from the recovery unit the following morning; struggling to catch her breath just to tell me she loves me.

We're ticking things off. Doing it day by day. What else is there to do?

Yes Anx.. she's my love and is such a trooper. Her beautiful and tiny body has been through so much. Cant begin to say how much I love her and want her to be ok. I think I know how you two must be feeling. Look after yourself hon x

Oh Mr Wibble - so sorry to hear what you and J have been through.

Glad to hear she's got the all clear and best of luck with the chemo - horrible, but powerful stuff - it made me better!
