Chemo #5 and Chemo #6... And life : )

Where has the time gone?! I've just realised I hadn't written a post after the last chemo session so this will be a bit of a catch-up.

Chemo #6 was yesterday... three quarters of the way through! GO US!

Steve was extremely tired afterwards and suffers a lot with the neuropathy, however apart from that he rarely has any complaints. From hearing other people's stories about chemotherapy and its' side effects, I have to say it seems we've got off quite lightly (bar Chemo #3 when it was absolutely horrendous).

The next two Chemo's are being delayed by a few days because we have stag/hen do's to attend, and then a wedding. Obviously we didn't want to jeopardise Steve's health at all, so we spoke to numerous doctors and nurses before deciding to delay the final two, however nobody seemed concerned about this. It's a shame the end of the course will be slightly delayed but Steve's lifelong friends are getting married in France and he wasn't going to miss that - this cancer has taken enough already!

In other news, our wedding plans are coming along beautifully and we are so excited. People would argue that there are zero positive things to come from being directly affected by cancer, but our wedding and our life afterwards is going to mean so much more to us because of it - we have been given a second chance and are absolutely going to make the most of it. While I'm on that topic, see our wedding website!! It's: http://steveandginagethitched.blogspot.co.uk/

I also want to say another huge thank you to everybody I've met through Twitter who have helped us through the most difficult times of our lives - Steve is apprehensive to speak to anybody else regarding his diagnosis which I can understand, however he's still benefited from your help massively because of the support you've given to m - it has helped me to be strong which in turn has helped him. I cannot explain the love I have for you all because of this. You're all inspirational :)


Lots of love Xx
