21st December and we’re still here!
Sue had her first chemo treatment yesterday and we were all very nervous beforehand. She says the nurses were lovely and she felt very ‘cared for’.
We didn’t expect much in the way of side-effects this time because chemo is ‘cumulative’ – it’ll get worse as we go along. But, she got more than they bargained for – lightheaded, nauseous, tingly fingers, froggy voice and she is already sensitive to hot and cold (cold feels like hot, and vice versa). They didn’t give her all her dose of chemo because of the speed of the onset of symptoms.
She has to avoid the sun – which will be hard on her, she has always loved the sun. When she was diagnosed with cancer we were all amazed it wasn’t melanoma… that she would have deserved! 
So she is inside, doing crochet – because apparently that will help the tingly fingers thing… She is staying strong and determined.

Bravo Sue, sorry about the side-effects though. XXX to you Janet, and Sue, (and everyone else in your family including furry folk). Have a very happy Christmas lunch! (Low carb, of course.)
Janet…ohhh I so wish the best for Sue. Wishing you all a happy Christmas. We are still one day behind you…can’t wait to say Yeahhhh we are still all here too! hugs, Ina
Prayers for you always!

Continued prayers and Light for Sue and for you all. What is she crocheting? I’ve always wanted to learn to crochet, never have, though I can knit basic stuff.
The doomsday moment has come and gone…and we’re all still here, for good or for ill.
Have a lovely Christmas Janet, and Sue and everyone you love. XXXX from Judith
