I slept like a baby – sopping wet PJs, but hopefully that did the trick. I love the new chemo drugs, as I am tired, but have no nausea and seem to be emotionally strong… so far and I have appetite! Hopefully this will not be the start of being fat, as they give me …

Up since 5.30… AHHH! The chemo still has it’s side effects and I was a lot awake during the night and my kids are suddenly early risers!! Well, since I am awake anyway, I might as well give Markus a layin again. The emotional state of myself is frightening. I have never taken drugs, but …
