Well, still progressing well. I had my port implant done last week for my chemo and it was actually more uncomfortable than having the mastectomy, but now is in and had my first chemo done last Thursday. I have come back clear on the CT and bone scans, no sign of any cancer, so chemo is a precaution and I realise just how lucky I have been.
I am feeling like I have a cross between flu, a heavy hangover and as if I have walked 20 miles. My feet hurt, I am not my usual bouncy self and feeling rather jaded, but still, not too bad to live with at the moment. Only five more sessions last one is the 8th July and I am done. I have gone off all booze, coffee etc and have a craving for carbs spuds, pasta, good home made stew and milk and porridge. It does seem to keep my stomach settled so I will just say sod it to the potential piling on the pounds.
I am working, but doing some time in the office and some working from home, and also am taking it easy with the horse jobs. though I can now skip out, do feeds, rugs etc but not a full bed out, or lifting heavy waters.
My hair is very short I have gone from having it down to my bum to a pixie cut ears and back of neck feel very exposed. As soon as it goes patchy, then I will be out with the trimmers and taking it off. I have bought some new trimmers for Stinky, but think I will have first go with them.
I managed to have a little ride on Stinky before I had the port put in, and it was great. Only 15 minutes in the school, but he took me round so carefully that I had a little trot and canter which has really given me a boost and I feel far better for it.
I hope to do a little bit of very light riding starting in the next few weeks having been so good, I dont want to risk tearing my chest muscles, so no jumping until end of June.
Still on target for the showing championships, friends are helping keeping them ticking over and it won't take too much to get Mr Stinky on form again.
Am stilll very positive and can't wait to be back to my normal self again.
