F*ck Cancer
6 months ago I was diagnosed with womb cancer. 3 months ago I found out the dosage of progesterone I was currently taking wasn’t having enough of an effect and the oncologists thought if it was doubled I’d have much better progress in treating the cancer. Last month it was confirmed by my doctor and…

Who knew I could ever be so tired?
It’s no secret I like my sleep. Ever since I was younger I’ve been quite happy to sleep the day away, even on Christmas! One year my best friend had to wake me up at noon on Christmas because I was still in bed! 🙂 As a girl who’s bestie literally is her bed quite…

Hormonal
The hormones I’m taking to hopefully get rid of my cancer have a lot of side effects. Mostly I’m exhausted. All. The. Time. This isn’t new to me after fighting iron deficiency last year so I can cope. It makes my depression worse. I’ve had worst days so, again, I can cope. It makes me…

7 weeks
Tuesday I go in for my second hysteroscopy this year and I will have been on Provera to treat my womb cancer for 7 weeks. The last 7 weeks have gone by pretty quickly but dealing with the moodiness and feeling crap has gotten old! The depression isn’t as bad as I worried it would…

Overwhelmed
(Warning: there’s a lot of sarcasm in this post!) I’ve been working so hard at trying to stay positive that maybe I’ve lost track of processing everything. Or it’s the side effects of my meds. Either way… today I was fine, until I wasn’t. Whether it’s the progesterone wreaking havoc, I am starting to notice…

An active year!
I’ve learned to never worry too much if plans (or I) fall apart. Monday night, in the last hours of freedom before returning to work Tuesday, I literally fell. Slipped on the stairs at home and down I went! Thankfully I’m fine, I managed to get up with a couple of swollen bits and some…

A New Year!
That’s going to be my 2017 in a nutshell. I’m taking it a little bit at a time to manage my goals. I’ve mapped out January and February in terms of exercise: Insanity Max:30 (thanks to Hubby for the Christmas gift!) should take care of most of my exercise (and help me get into my…

2016 in two words: FUCK YOU
This has been an absolute shit storm of a year. Thankfully the end is in sight! I’m not sure how much better 2017 is looking if I’m totally honest. But there’s at least a 50/50 chance it’s better than this year has been. It could, of course, get worse. (President Trump? Brexit? Sigh.) Either way…

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing
My last update was a bit dreary wasn’t it? It feels like forever ago! I’m glad to say I’m feeling somewhat better now. I had some advice from my cousin after my last post; she recommended B12 so I started taking a time release tablet and it made a massive difference! (Thanks cuz!) I’m going…
