Well the sun is shining, the rain is nowhere to be seen...its wednesday morning...and its the day to go get poisoned again.

Soooo in an hours time I will be having my 'tingly' bum again, and in an hour and half I will be 100% off my face thanks to the last poison, cos it gets you ever so slightly erm hammered.  So im actually looking forward to today how bizarre is that.

Have had a busy morning already, phoned the border collie peeps to find out where cassies jab docs are so she can get jabbed up without it costing us a fortune.  Phoned sky, cos the box is playing up, got new dining table and chairs being delivered sometime today woohoo.  Second load of washing done, loos cleaned, hoovering done, beds all changed..so my morning of chemo rituals are all done lol.

Got the oncologist to see today, and might see him straight after chemo..which will be amusing cos I will be off my face which could cause extrememe amusement for me lol.  I will try to behave...but no promises lol

Hey peeps

Yup, all done and dusted..woohoo no more needles for two weeks lol.  No probs finding a vein..bit worried cos i never even felt the maahooosive thing go in I did ask hmm am i becoming desensitized to it of which tracey said..nah im just too damn good.  So fairy snuff for that one. 

I got my tingly bum..which was nice lol, and when i explained what it did feel like to tracey she was creasing cos shes never heard it described like that before.  Had all my poisons all done within half hour woohoo..she saved the best til last, and yes i was off my face again within seconds..which was nice. 

Lorraine came with me down to the oncologist..but hed already legged it (he knew i was coming lol).  So came home, wobbled out the car still laughing, for dawn to give me a shout and invite me over for a brew.  So popped over the road and basically sat on the sofa giggling my heeed off because my feet cant touch the floor with her sofa..and for some reason I found that funny.  See planet steffers is an interesting place! 

Went back up to the hospital this afternoon, whisked straight in to see mr oncologist..im still off my face at this point and on planet steph lol.  He asked how it was going, am smaaashing mate how are u (oops).  He went through my bloods, yes everything is fine, nothing lurking...me..marrrrveelllous (oops).  Do I have any questions..now that was a loaded one lol!  Yeah..why havent my periods stopped!!  The chemo prob wont stop them (sulk) and the tamoxifen might or might not stop them, however, five years of tamoxifen, periods start up again..and if they do..another five years of some other tablet...dont fink so mate i want a hysterectomy done and jobs done lol.  He cant see the point of a hysterectomy (well he is a bloke lol)...and would rather either remove ovaries or zap them to shrivel them.  My argument..dont want anything going minky inside..and whats the point of whipping one out when you can whip all of it out..he couldnt answer that one and was greatly amused at my responses. He had a mooch at my scar, which now is of a 3yr old scar standard instead of 6 months..which is always good.  I will see him again when i have my last batch of this chemo so he can go through the radio planning..of which that set me off..get a pen and draw on me lol.  Then he asked..anything else you want to ask me..yeah..what if there are no such things as hypothetical questions..i couldnt resist it lol!!

So all in all a pointless afternoon seeing him, but it still feels good walking out feeling that it was pointless.  Im still off my face, and the smallest of things are amusing me greatly at the moment woohoo...im soo luuuurving this chemo lol

OMG Steph I am sat here creasing up.  You have such a lovely way to deal with it, and excellent way of phrasing how things went!  Glad it was such a great entertaining waste of time with the oncy bloke!
