Happy November

Oh wait! I had my first spell jealousy when I logged onto my friends Facebook (she knows I do this, she has my password too, its a two way street) as saw that she was invited to two parties that I planned going to. And I had a cracking costume too... (Luckily I didn't actually buy it) Not even going to lie, I know everyone has been saying how positive I have been recently but it pretty bad when all your friends are out having fun and I'm sitting in my hospital room attached to my new best friend the drip machine and watching TV all night. But it makes me even more excited for when I am allowed out the hospital and I can go have fun weeee!














My flatmate Laura and I sat for hours looking through hundreds of different costumes and decided that the naked lady was the best one. Hey never seen that before!

 Sorry this blog is becoming less and less cancer related everyday, only because I have nothing to report on. The only thing is that the chemo, or some other drugs I have been on have consequently turned my tongue very very green... nice. Also every day it makes me feel a tiny bit tired but I think that is because I get waken up at 2am and the 6am for observations. Which is when the nurse checks my temperature, blood pressure and heart rate. I also have calculated that If my hair is going, it could be pretty soon, so I don't know if I should do it myself to cause less distress or let the chemo lead the way.

 Also, I have never wanted to go outside this much in my whole entire life. I can't remember if I have written this yet, but I am under a strict rule that I can't leave my room until my blood counts go up, and I predict that will happen in approximately 19 days. NINE. TEEN. DAYS.

Its Chemo Time

Image
First injection of chemo started today. Not what I expected at all. The nurse walked in with these big syringes that looked like they had been pulled out of the telly from Dexters Laboratory or the Power Puff Girls (cartoons). These pictures DO NOT do the actual size justice. I kid you not thats how big they were! This was literally my face when she walked into my room. I have 11 days of treatment. The red one that I had today is every three to four days, and this is the one that attacks hair cells however this this actually takes about a couple of weeks to before you actually see any hair loss. Charlie Miller popped in today to discuss my wig plans which was pretty cool. The wigs that they provide are made from real hair, bought in from asian woman that sell their hair (thanks guys!).  This is the confusing part, bare with me. Before doing chemo you have to sign away three big forms. I was given the option to take part in a trial called AML 17 or ...

So This Is a lil Bit Hard To Write...

Image
I don't usually find writing a difficult subject, infact I normally love writing. This is something that is very hard to tell family and friends.  Most of you don't know this, but on the 16th of October at around 13:15 I was diagnosed with Leukaemia, which I am sure most of you know is a type of cancer.  When my doctor told me my reaction could only be described as a "greek woman crying in the street" - not my own words. I was devistated, and still am.  BUT  Here are the plus sides! My cancer is at a very early stage known as "pre-leukaemia" which means it is much easier to treat I have baffled every blood specialist doctor in the land, as all my blood counts have continued to rise over the past few months which means my body seems to want to  fight against the disease.  I have the best support from friends and family I could ever ask for. I have my own hospital room with a tv, fridge and en suite awfully fancy. I was given a choice of putting...

THE ULTIMATE RANT

Image
I am very aware that when writing this blog I try take the negative things and make a hoo ha joke stream about them. I wrote the following whist in hospital when I was really sad and angry. I was literally clawing at the door wanting to come out and go home. There's just sometimes so many things that (like anyone who walks the earth) make me sad and annoyed that is enhanced when you're in a confined space. Hmmm what to say what to say been stuck in the same room since the 4th of May; going crazy beginning to despise everyones  Instagram boomerangs. Feeling jealous. Lost two titwit best friends now due to, well I don't know having cancer love I really love being shunned for being sick, feels great. How are you doing are you all feeling fine because I'm not I'm raging. I'm sick of needles being stabbed into me every morning, I'm sick of panicking about my health. I'm absolutely exhausted after getting a transplant someone give me a lucozade tablet. Ha...
