Not been about for a few days. Ive been incredibly tired..as in being sent back to bed just before lunchtime and thats me out for the count til 4ish. Im doing ok though, which is always a bonus. This chemo, although much nicer (like you wouldnt believe) than the last one has its drawbacks. I have it all on day one, and then all again 7 days later, which means..two lots of steroids and anti-sick stuff which is tough going on the system. The erm come down, well all I can say is bump and watch out china lol. The biggie with the pills though is that it backs you up til christmas. Sooo over the last 3 days I have been looking like I am 8 months pg, and im not joking. I had to borrow a friends mat jeans cos nothing of mine would fit over my bloated belly. I took tasja to brownies last night, and almost collapsed on the way home as my tum started cramping and I was in agony. I made up a hot water bottle to ease off the cramps and just didnt move for an hour or so til the cramps had passed...I figured it was time for movecol..or movethelot lol. Sooo I had 8 sachets of the stuff last night (max dose) and waited 2 hours..still nothing..some interesting burbly noises coming from my belly..and i could burp really well lol. So again this morning, still nothing doing..I had another 2 sachets. I figured that I would take the dosages spread through the day today..so as not to go to the other extrememe lol. Mum took tasja to school...and within minutes of them leaving...woooohooooo for me yaaaaay all hail the great movecol/movethlot god. So with a bit of luck my belly will be back to normal size by tonight..and I can fit back into my jeans for tomorrow. So ooooof thank gaawd for movecol.

Glad you've 'been' lol. Hope you're feeling a little better. My sis hates that Movecol stuff, but it seems to do the trick for you! She's waiting on a scan result to see if she needs more chemo, or radio, or nothing. Might get them today. She's also having her Hickman Line out today (hopefully) so she's reallly pleased about that!
