Mercy Me

I just woke to day 3 and things are going well. On the first day I had a bit of a bad reaction to the chemo. My arms and legs burnt and my skin went red. With some pills I slept great and when I woke I was a different person. Yesterday I was hooked up for many hours, as I will be today, but I managed to sit outside for a while too. I've been warned that toward the end of the week my mouth ulcers will start and run into my stomach. Lots of pain and difficulty in eating. My mum's trying to be positive and say it might not happen but it happens to all. After about a week I will start to recover. This is definitely hard hitting stuff, my night sweats have stopped from one night to the next, that may also be due to not having the stress of waiting. I'm so glad to get on with it even though it's going to be so tough. At the moment my spirits are high, lets hope it lasts.
