3rd Chemo

Over it all 



3rd chemo was done last Thursday, that’s 6 days ago and today has been another day of no taste. I eat but nothing tastes, it feels greasy in my mouth if it’s anything greasy, but there’s no taste. Water tastes though,it tastes bitter and I gag each time I swallow. Today started about 7 am when I woke with chest pains, at first I thought it was my heart but as I got up and went to the toilet the burps started, and then the burning, stupid heartburn. I sat up for a while but the tiredness I felt today was pure fatigue. My arms and legs were heavy and I needed to lay them flat on the bed. I slept most the day waking for an hour hear and there but I couldn’t sit for long so couldn’t do anything much.
  Tonight I have been awake for a few hours , I am tired, I feel sick 🤢 I have aches in the back bone the legs , the soles of my feet and my finger tips are numb, but I have like electrical pulses in the feet on and off that kinda hurt. It’s one of the nights where I am feeling so horrible and sick and over it all that I just lay here and cry .  Only one more chemo to go, and I will do it, but I am so tired of being sick and being in pain and I am having a sook.

I am starting to feel defeated, with this constant coughing and mucus on my chest, I know they are going to put surgery off until it’s better, but I don’t want it put off, I just want it out before it has a chance to spread. Come Monday the 8th Jan I meet the allergy specialist for testing, and then meet the surgeon at my pre op appointment in Brisbane at the Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital, I am feel somewhat nauseated tonight and I am wondering what’s causing it. Is it the cough, infection in the cuts, or is it the cancer itself. If it’s the infection maybe I should take the second box of antibiotics, if it’s the cancer maybe it’s a sign things are worse ☹️ Fuck this cancer, why is it doing this to me, I am not ready to leave this earth yet, I have so much I still wanna do, but nights like tonight I feel tired , ...

About me and The finding

Hi all, my name is Wendy Mills. I was born as Wendy Horsfall and grew up in a small town named Kempsey in NSW, Australia. I moved to Qld in 2002 and have been here since. I have 4 wonderful children and a wonderful supportive husband. I wanted to share my story and hope that anyone going through similar can take some kind of comfort or even just know they are not alone in there thoughts and feelings. The Finding     (10/2017) My story started one night when I was in the shower and as I was washing my breast I noticed a spot was a little sore so I soaped it up some more and felt around and I found what I thought was a lump. There is so much tissue in the breast I wasn’t sure so wasn’t to worried. Over the following few weeks I kept using oils and creams to check if it was still there and each time I half expected it to be gone but this wasn’t the case. Eventually I asked my husband to rub some cream into my breast and see if he could feel anything out of place and h...
