Had a great last week but feeling glum now...

I pretty much made the most of the last week. I have had huge amounts of fun seeing various people and visiting my friends in Brighton. A lot of alcohol has been consumed and the late nights have taken it toll, but it has been worth it. I forgot how much I love Brighton because of the weird, wonderful and colourful characters you get down there. It makes me feel very comfortable being me and even fairly normal!

It was a painful and slow train journey back to Leicester yesterday as I was quite hung over. Back home and back to reality. I began to think about my next chemo on Wednesday. I have no idea what to expect and so a little anxious. I woke up this morning from having a full night of dreaming being in the hospital and having my chemo. Its made me feel a little down for the rest of the day. I know there is no point in worrying. I do know that I am not looking forward to being back on the steroids though. I have to start taking eight tomorrow and the next day but hopefully that will be it.

My mum is going with my on Wednesday and I will make sure she can sit with me too! At least I should not be feeling too nauseous afterwards but perhaps just a little achy and tired. My sisters are down at the weekend which will be a great distraction and I am even planing on staying on my mum and dad's narrow boat for the weekend for a change of scenery. I have always loved spending time on the boat, being on the canals is an entirely different world, very peaceful.

So I will try and make the most of tomorrow and hope the steroids do not effect me too much.
