Slight detours are part of every journey

It has been a frustrating week so far. I started off in a lot of pain and was actually sick over the weekend which is a new side effect for me, and it left me feeling pretty rubbish to say the least. I was hopeful though that once the chemo round 4 got underway the pain would recede as it has done in the past. Disappointingly, round 4 has had to be postponed as when I went for the routine bloodtests they found my so called magical port had "broken" and so they could not draw blood from it nor can I have chemo injected until it is fixed. I am currently waiting to hear when they can fix the port which will involve another hospital procedure and once I know that then I'll know whn chemo can recommence. In the interim, I have a team of pain specialists working with me to reduce the pain and sickness which I am currently enduring.

This post therefore may not be as perky or as interesting as some of my others but it is serving a very important purpose; it is letting you all know what is going on so you can keep sending positive thoughts in my direction and in turn it allows you to understand why I am not answering the phone or returning messages as faithfully as I normally do. Until I feel better and everything is back on track I will be focussing on me time and taking all the positive energy I can find to turn this little unplanned detour into a scenic diversion. Thank you all for your love, positivity and understanding.
