Even though I'm not back to work yet, I can still appreciate that back to school feeling that I always get in September. Slight chill in the air, September sun.
Thinking about that journey to work, getting there and seeing everyone (and some super-tans) catching up about holidays and having a coffee. Then by lunch time it feels like you've been back a week already.
But, I'm still in chemotherapy and have 3 sessions to go yet before I even start recovery. I'm getting really tired of it now. Feels like it's dragging big time.
Last night I started to feel really achy in my legs and had a bath to try and ease it. I was so weak I couldnt get myself out of the bath. Anthony had to help me out. I cried and just thought this is ridiculous.I kept apologising. It's so frustrating.
I am going to watch a film and do some creative stuff this morning. I love being able to make things I don't feel totally hopeless - I can make something and not move at all from being sat down resting my legs and I can feel that I have achieved something.
My name is Liz Ellis. Here you can read all about my experience of Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a form of cancer. I was diagnosed on 30th March 2011. I began writing this blog the day after! I found it a really helpful way to get my feelings out. My chemotherapy finished on 6th October 2011. I have been in remission since Nov 2011. Please share my blog with everyone you can to help create an awareness. Click 'Contact' to get in touch. It would be lovely to hear from you :]
