It was all I could do to get dressed in the morning. I'm disabled, so I didn't have anywhere to go really, but who wants to spend the day in their night clothes. LOL That's always when someone shows up to visit. LOL

Just doing a few things around the house TOTALLY exhausted me -- I was amazed at how tired I got doing next to nothing. And going to my monthly doctor's visit was dangerous -- I'd almost fall asleep at the wheel coming home!!

I PRAY that your radiation treatment is working on the tumor!!! You can BET that you'll be in my prayers!!! I hope you will private message me, and let me know what the results are when you get your next report. I REALLY want to know! Will you? I know this is emotionally tough for you. It's difficult not to worry -- please try not to, and keep the faith. I know it's almost impossible not to worry, but it doesn't do any good anyway -- it just make you sick. Hope to talk to you soon. Hugs, Lee

Thanks for the reply Lee, its nice to hear from someone that can relate completely. Thats pretty much the same as whats going on here. I have it 5 days a week in the mornings and have the weekend as a rest, i spend the majority of the rest of the day sleeping so its a rarity for me to leave the house now. I'm 19, so im in university as well which im carrying on at home so its impacting that quite a lot however i am managing to just about keep up but I'd love to be able to get out a little more, the most i can do at the moment is leave the house in a wheelchair on my worst days and even then its only to the shop or my grandparents! I'd be happy to keep you informed, it means a lot to know! Thanks again.

I finish this course on Tuesday and have my tests start next Wednesday to find out whether its worked so fingers crossed,
