Chemo 3, 2nd cycle

After a lovely evening spent with Brandon, eating steak and salad, chatting and just kuiering as us Africans do so well, I popped my magic pill that the doctor gave me. It did not take me long to sleep and I woke up this morning feeling ready for my 3rd chemo. Nova arrived with a bag of croissants, pains au chocolat and strawberries (guess what got eaten first). I got cannulated quite painlessly this time and off we went. I felt so relaxed this time round that despite the slight burning sensation of the chemo going in, I was absolutely fine. Nova's baby-sitting duty was relieved by Adam who was just in time to grab the trolly dolly who had the magic crisps: salt & vinegar. Always works a treat. I also grabbed some salmon sandwiches and a banana (not to be consumed in public, of course). It was kinda sad saying goodbye to Adam cos he is going to South Africa for two weeks so now I have to find someone else to sponsor my weekly Pret-a-Manger soup and Caffe Nero cappuccino (that's the sad but LOL) :) Nah, I will actually miss having him close by but he deserves his break in the sun! After my second bag of chemo, I had a reiki session, compliments of the NHS. It was very relaxing and a nice way to end the chemo session. I am now at the home of a great doctor friend where I shall await to be pampered (one has to milk this illness) once he gets home. However, as he is a psychiatrist, he just might see through my shamming!

Lots of pills to take as of tomorrow but also lots of fun to be had the rest of the week. And, even more exciting, starting work back in coaching possibly as soon as next week. Cannot wait to get back to working with interesting clients.

Thanks for reading and please keep all those wonderful positive vibes coming. Trust me, I can feel the love and support coming my way and I am truly humbled by it all.

Keep smiling, laughing, and shaking your bottom (large or small) to Brenda Fassie's song: Vul'indlela :-)
