New Chemo

jane-chemo2(aug15)Jane’s new regime of chemo is proving to be difficult. Initially she thought there wouldn’t be any side effects but by the fourth day afterwards she doesn’t feel like eating, has stomach pain, trouble sleeping at night and feels tired a lot of the time. Mornings are her best time.

We’re hoping this will soon pass but it may take several weeks before the stomach pain caused by the tumour close to the spleen starts to shrink as promised by the oncologist.

Having just got used to her new pixie hairstyle it seems possible she will lose her hair again. Apart from the physical impact of all of this there is also a psychological effect and it is difficult to avoid being depressed. Thankfully we have great support from our near neighbours/friends and of course all of you out there who are emailing, Texting and WhatsApping Jane on a regular basis – it gives her the strength to keep going, thank you.

    Steve, that is a fabulous photo of Jane. Perhaps you have missed your vocation as a portrait photographer!! Either that or Jane has missed her vocation as a model!!
    Best wishes to you both and I hope the horrid side effects disappear soon to enable you to enjoy your life. Love Liz

    No matter what happens Jane still manages to have that lovely smile on her face. Hope the horrible side effects don’t stay too long. xx

    Ditto! You look both cute and gorgeous in that photo! Here’s hoping the chemo nasties are very short-lived. Hugs!
