Kay is very weak and extremely tired. She can barely keep her eyes open and isn't bothering to try. She doesn't want to talk, move or anything. Three days of chemo and no food have taken their toll. We were told that this would be a tough week, so no surprises there.
Strangely enough she looks pretty good, reasonable colour in her cheeks, still no sign of hair loss. I still wonder whether the diagnosis was right, but of course it is. But I suppose that there's no doubt that the cancer victim look will come, her weakness is but the prelude.
Good news is that she has her nasogastric tube and that she will probably be able to go home tomorrow evening or Friday. As long as she remains on course and infection free she should be able to complete the rest of the treatment as an outpatient.

Dear Rob and Marion
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased to hear the good news and long may her progress continue. Hang on in there.
Dear Kay,
I hope you regain some appetite soon - just think, when you do fancy something, you will probably be able to have whatever you like! Ice cream for breakfast maybe?
Wishing you all the best,
Love Sam, Martin, Amy, Evie and Freddie (Freddie, age 3, doesn't really understand, he thinks a bow and arrow might make you feel better...)
