Have had 4 days with no Chemo. I would have thought that I would be feeling better with no drugs pumping through me. Instead I have been feeling very tired and slightly more sick. I've also got it into my head that since tumour is growing beccause I'm not getting any drugs and I find it slightly harder to eat food again. I'm sure it's also psycosematic...but there you go, I've always had an odd brain.
Finally got the Chemo drugs started on Friday. The blood tests all came back good. The drugs are really taking it out of me. Feel very sick...all the time and can't really keep any food down for long.
Saturday - I wake up hearing my mum shouting for Shirin. My mum had a fall and dislocated her thum. Shirin managed to twist it back in place. Called fo an ambulance which arrived within 10 mins. It was horrible seeing my mum in such pain and not being able to do anything.
I had to call my brother to look after my Mum in hospital since I should really not going there whilst having Chemo. Lots of sick people and germs floating about. So Shirin went with my mum to hospital and my Brother met them there. They did an x-ray and Shirin can't see any breaks or fractures. I'm praying nothing is broken.
I'm not sure what my mum is going to go when they release her. I think it's too dangerous for her to stay at my place with all the wooden floors and stairs. It'll be better for her at her home provided my brother can stay and look after her.
All in all it's not been a good week. At least I do not feel as sick as the last time I had Chemo. I'm still trying to keep a positive mental attitude, but it is sure getting hard to maintain. I suppose I will fell better in a few days when the sickness wears off and my Mum is better.
Sorry for not updating the blog for a few days. I know some of you were worried.

Dear Jay
Love the new 'look'. As I said to Shirin earlier in the week if you really put on a few more pounds in the next few weeks we can stop calling you Slaphead and call you Little Buddha instead - I don't know which you prefer but I think they're both good!
Really sorry to hear about you Mum and hope nothing is broken.
Hope your sick feeling improves and I'm sure the whole 'tumour growing' thing is definitely in your head. Those chemo drugs are turning you crazy mate.
Just remember that there will be good days and bad days - hopefully you'll be back to the good days soon.
Good to speak to you earlier in the week.
