Its Sarah speaking at last, I am finally back in the land of the living again. As Stuart mentioned the last course of chemo was really tough and I just felt totally out of it but not in a good way. Yesterday (Weds) i struggled over to the day unit, I really wasn't feeling good and could barely walk. After doing some tests they discovered that my blood counts were really low so I had to have 2 units transfused. I had to spend the day there hooked up to my blood bags and was feeling really depressed. I had quite a few tears but managed to pull myself together after a long chat with Mum and some texts from sis-in-law and friends and a visit from Fiona (Sausage).
Woke up this morning feeling like a new woman, the blood must have worked! and I was seeing my gorgeous girls today, its been 9 long days and I have missed them terribly. When I saw them coming towards me I literally ran to them, I definately couldn't have done that yesterday! Words cannot describe how happy I was to see their little faces,special thanks to my lovely in-laws for bringing them x. So I got to spend most of the day with the girls and it has lifted my spirits beyond belief. Also, my Support Nurse Elaine pointed out to me that within 6 to 8 weeks I will be finished all my treatment and i will be back home for good, such an amazing feeling. She has only known one other person to whizz through the treatment so quickly, he did it in 4 months so I have got to beat that and I can be the one she talks about to other patients and be an inspiration to them.
After the girls went I sat in Starbucks for a while then visited my 2 other AML friends in hospital and then Stuart and I finished off a great day with a trip to Wetherspoons for the Curry Club followed by a couple of pints! Unfortunately, I am on antibiotics so I only managed to sneaked in half a shandy, thank god my doctors don't hang out there after work!
Will update again soon.
Lots of love Sarah xxx
