I am back at home now... and have to confess I am still in bed (it is 1:30 in the afternoon!).
I have had a nice break away and I have done quite a few nice things this week. I did try to tell myself I needed to rest in readiness for Radiotherapy - but I will never listen (and would do it the same all over again ;-D). Just give me back a little energy and I grab it with both hands. So today I have taken the pace down significantly and plan to just rest over the weekend.
I have been missed by all while I was away and so it is nice to come home to lots of attention and cuddles. How the cats will cope when I go back to work I don't know!
So, I start the Radiotherapy on Monday and I am putting aside July as just "Radiotherapy" month. Bring it on.
Me, then....
On 7th November 06 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I have set up this site for my friends and family to see how I am getting along with all this surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy stuff.
....and now

Burnt-to-a-Crisp Scale
I couldn't go cold turkey from my graphs, so I've devised one to accompany the radiotherapy and record how the "sunburn" goes. The cooking continues for 10-14 days afterwards so I've made the graph nice and long
Poo-o-Meter
Now lets try Taxol..... yellow and black indicates toxic drug days
Pants-o-Gram
So here's how I am feeling on taxotere.
Cack-o-Graph
I have decided to keep a record of how I am feeling over the EC chemo cycles. My score of 10 is the same as my pre-chemo normal energy Dawn day, spot the scientist :)
Not that I am counting, but...
