Hello lovely 'Blog Community'...
Well guys, sleep glands and bladder gone into overdrive once more. Slept most of the morning and again this evening; managed a little food of the soup variety. Mum and Dad and Chloe are looking after me very well as Teresa's (a.k.a. Florence Nightingale) is working today. The hardest day tends to be day 3 (tomorrow) and then after that you begin to feel better. Looking forward to seeing our old mates John & Amanda Stamp from Derbyshire over the weekend.
The list of pills is getting madder. At the moment I'm taking:
Prescription:
Domperidone - for nausea and sickness: 4 times a day.
Cyclizine - for severe nausea and sleep: 1 a day
Dexamethasone - steriod: once a day
Codeine Phosphate - for pain and the squits: 4 a day
Capecitabine - chemotherapy via tablet: 8 a day
Co-diovan - for blood pressure: 1 a day
Lansoprazole - for indegestion: 1 a day
Cipralex - for the brain: 1 a day
Non prescription but cleared as OK by the oncologist (tracked down by Florence on the web):
B17 Bitter Apricot Kernels - packed full of cyanide but brill - snake oil I reckon!
Ellagic Acid - something to do with fighting radicals or something??
Mega EPA 1000 Fish Oil - Yuk - green torpedos of hell!
Life Essence Multi Nutrient - Yuk - green elephant pills!
Alkaline PH Booster - added to water
As with Chemo round #1 I've got the sensitivity to cold again but have managed a further strange symptom of a florrid red face. Look like Mr Percy Snotgrass from Oliver! - the one who'd secretly buy it, drink it on the quiet and dream he was an earl with a girl on each knee. Sadly no great desire to have a girl on knee - things seem to gone into hibernation in that area of life. Too much self disclosure here perhaps? I've gone beyond the edge of the envelope again haven't I?
Seem to have spawned a debate re Buddhism and Christianity on the old blogaroonie. I am honoured, blessed and touched that those of other faiths are praying and meditating for me - I've some wonderful friends of all persuasions. It's no secret that I've found truth in Jesus and His teachings and it is great that His teachings have impacted the world far beyond those who choose to specifically follow Him. Wherever there are people thinking, praying and meditating for those in need there is Jesus' heart. Many Christians would find peace in a Buddhist temple, Gudwara, Mosque or Synagogue. We can hold passionately our beliefs and even seek to share them with others as truth whilst respecting, honouring and defending the rights and beliefs of others. I can't think of anything more wonderful than a Buddist finding peace and tranqulity in Wesley's chapel. John Wesley at his conversion said that he felt his heart 'strangley warmed' by God and his presence... we all need some heart warming don't we?
Personally I couldn't imagine walking through this without Jesus by my side or without the support of my wonderful faith community and friends. It's at times like this that your faith is tested, really comes into play, I pray that I'll be found to be strong in Him. It's at times like this that you discover so many people care for you and love you.
Am I preaching again? Probably!
Anyway thanks again my support troops; you are all my heroes, keep praying, meditating and visualising the little blighter GOING!
God Bless, sleep tight and if you're struggling to sleep I'll email you a Cyclizine. Hope you hearts all all warmed as you sleep.
Luv Dave xxx

Dovid,
Lots of smutty responses to your "beyond the envelope" comment.....but I was brung up too well(in the gutter, those who know me well) to share them in public!!!!
Red face eh? Now you know what it feels like to be a 46 year old woman, who suffers from "power surges, or tropical moments, or whatever I choose to call them at the time!!!!
Clashes with the red hair though, right?
Anyway,keep warm, keep strong, and we will keep praying like stink...every minute of every day, the yearning GROWS...no trace.
Love to Florence.
Love to you.
Sianaroonie.
Chloe...ha ha! you have got Dovid Ridfin syndrome too!!!!!
That boy is such a bad influence.
No prob sleeping, Dovid, I could sleep on a clothes line (have been known to after a couple of cans of rocket fuel!). However, I wouldn't mind one of those brain tablets e-mailing please,as I am ready to try anything that might help me in that department!!!!

THE DAY the blighter waves bye bye to Dovid forever.
