Woke this morning very full of aches and pains the reasons for which I know and will explain in a moment. More interesting though is perhaps the first of the signs of chemo side effects. Sore dry mouth, and ulcerated tongue. These are listed as one of the side effects of this type of chemo. To see more information in detail about this chemo click here.
So to the aches and pains. All my own fault! I bent down in the kitchen last night, too quickly, lost my balance and fell over straight onto my bad arm. Did I swear? Yes. However apart from a bruise and the awful pain which is going now after appropriate dosages of morphine no harm done. Just have to be a bit more careful that's all.
The sudden realisation that you have cancer hits you like a sledgehammer. On 9th February after 2 months of tests and all sorts thats what they told me. In more ways than one it's a life-changing moment and your mind goes into overdrive thinking all kinds of worst case scenarios.
Stay with it big guy it will be worth it in the end. Even if it's just to see you with no hair...lol
