Christmas & New years

Christmas was nice, but exhausting. I am constantly getting worse. My mum was here which was great and it made it all the more special and Christmassy. But I am still getting weaker by the day. I can't keep any food down. Constant nausea. Constant vomiting. Is this ever going to end?

We had friends over on Christmas Day which was nice. Sadly I tried a mouthful of turkey and red cabbage and everything came out again. Usually that's it done then. But this time I had to vomit for hours...I took some medication which helps against the nausea, but it makes me so drowsy that I am pretty much knocked out for 24hours. Honestly! No kidding. My doctor gave it to me ones before at the surgery in a quick IV and I fainted! Scary.

However, I was in such bad state I had to take it. 

I wish it wouldn't knock me out like that. It's a constant trade-off. Nausea versus knocked out. 
Both not giving you any life quality. 

Then Susi came to visit over New Years.
Which is was great. 
I started crying when she arrived. 
So happy and emotional. 

It was great to have her. 
We talked. She looked after me. Sat next to me when I slept. And read to me. 

Still. I'm getting weaker. Skinnier. More depressed. 
Where is this going to end? And will it ever?

25.

Chemo 25....

I'm weak. 

Need to be pushed to chemo in my wheel chair. 

And I'm pretty emotional. 

But today I could talk to two nice chemo buddies. 

And I could cry as well. 

They understand. 

And they made me feel better. 

After, I left in a good mood. 

And hopefull, as usually I'm not too nauseous after chemo as I get some cortisone as well as a tablet to help with the nausea.
