Two more months down the line and 5 chemotherapy treatments behind me, I have nothing but praise for the hospital staff who have treated me. Being consulted and informed all the way along the line has made the treatment much easier to cope with and also meeting many, many other people in the same boat has been very helpful. My life has gone on more or less normally. I can't get to the gym so often as I just don't have the energy right after treatments but I am keeping it up as much as possible and have managed to play tennis twice. The PICC line in my arm doesn't seem to mind my working with weights and wielding a tennis racquet so that's a bonus. We have made more effort to do enjoyable things between treatments and have had two lovely trips to France. Friends and family have been very kind and supportive and I have learned a lot about myself in the process. I understand a lot more about friendship and how we can relate to many different people on many different levels, all helpful stuff when working with clients in the future.
I have just read a brilliant book, Mosters and Magical Sticks by Stephen Heller which has also lead me to be more adverturous in my treatments, particularly in the use of anchors.
Well, enough for now. Study calls.
