Well it still hasn’t sunk in that I’ve officially finished university yet. There are only a few weeks till I find out what grade I have got and then I can really look forward to my graduation.
I don’t know what I am going to do with myself now I have no university work to do. I can’t get a job in Broadcasting because of all the treatment I am going through and can’t even get a little weekend job because I can never tell what each day will bring while fighting the cancer, I could be really tired one day or sick the next. It sucks a bit as everyone I know from university is applying for big jobs and I am stuck at home.
I had my chemo last Friday and it all went okay, but to top the day off I was told I wouldn’t need to have the nasty bone marrow injection because my blood count was high enough, I was so happy. I know the injection is for the best and helps, but being told I didn’t need to have it put a huge smile on my face.
That night though the chemo kicked in and from about three o’clock in the morning I was wide awake and could not sleep at all. In fact I was that wide awake I could have run a marathon, I am not joking with you. The reason for being awake so early was from all the glucose I had been given when having my treatment. I had been given over 2 litres of glucose which is the equivalent to a lot of energy drinks.
On Sunday the side effects began and my mouth infection started. Even though I know it going to happen and can start to take tablets to help it, I can never completely get rid of it and it lasts the week. It does upset and annoy me because it really hurts and I can’t eat or drink properly.
I have been to the cinema a few times this week. I went to see “She’s out of my league”, “Death at a Funeral” and “Sex and the City 2”. They were all really good films and I would definitely recommend them.
