I am feeling weak.  Walking up and down stairs are a struggle again; I have no energy.  Thankfully, the bathroom is next to my bedroom in my new dream home!  The decrease sensation in my fingertips has got worse.  I can hardly feel them as type…  I was suppose to go to Maggie’s today, but I decided against it in the end.  I need to listen to my body, and my body is saying no.  At least, I am not feeling so bad I have to be in the hospital.  Hopefully, I will get to stay at home this week.

So there seems to be a pattern arising from these cycles.  The first weak of chemo, I seem to be OK with steroids, then the second week is when I feel weak and poorly, and then hopefully I will be back to ‘normal’ on the third week.

I am so pleased I felt strong enough to go to Flo and Danny’s Chinese Wedding Banquet in east London on Saturday.  I had never been to a Chinese wedding before.  We had what I believe a typical banquet of 10 courses.  We were served some very exotic looking dishes, including lobster, and pigeon!  Suzie and I however stuck to vegetarian options only, although we had a little bit of amazing steamed sea bass.  We were absolutely stuffed in the end!  It was lovely to see Flo, she looked so happy!
