I've got a cold - yippee!!!!

Well I feel like I'm knocking through the radiotherapy like there's nothing to it.  Which is true really!  I have already completed 8 sessions and only have 17 more to do.  By the end of this week there will only be 13 left and that means I'll be halfway through.  See?  It's easy!!!!!

However, ever since I started my course I have had a stinking cold.  Really heavy.  The funny thing is, I have almost enjoyed having it.  Now I know this sounds strange, even for me, but it's not really when you think about it - a cold, not something to get worried about, normally.  Since starting my chemo on 18 June a cold was something to be feared.  I was terrified that it would develop into something that would affect my bloods and therefore delay treatment or worse, snowball into an infection that could potentially, if not caught in time, kill me.  It sounds dramatic but it is true.  I distinctly remember being told when I went in for my "chemo chat"  that people do die on chemo.  Not from the disease being treated or from the chemo itself but from an infection picked up and not treated quickly enough.  This rang in my ears very loudly whenever I felt under the weather during chemo (and no, I don't mean from the chemo itself although ,as you all already know that was a challenge in itself).

Having said all of the above, I have now had enough of this cold.  Everything runs its course and I would like to be healthy and well now thank you. 

I feel it would be a novelty!!
