It's my last 'normal' day.... Before the bubble begins! So I headed up to the hospital for my pre-chemo bloods.... And anyone who's been to the St Mary's Pathology knows you're usually in for a long wait up there!! Now this is where the special seat comes into play!! One perk of having to have chemo I guess!! A bulging full waiting room of people sitting with their number awaiting their turn! I rock up hand in my forms and get sent to the 'reserved seating'. Within 30 seconds of placing my bum on the seat Id already been called in!! Bonus! Even if the nurse did have a look at my black and blue arms with a 'I'm sorry this going to be sore look on her face!' Bloods done, on to Christmas party food shopping for my tangerine team for Saturday! Possibly the most inconvenient time to have a xmas party but WightFIT needs to be decked out in christmas!! Over the past weeks ive had some incredible support, not least from my mum & family, best mates and my staff team, but have also come into contact with a lovely girl called Alex from Portsmouth. Unbeknown to us at the time we've both played in the same netball team in Portsmouth, TeamForce in the last few years. Alex has recently been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and is the writer of www.alexisallin.com. It turns out we were both approved for the same fertility treatment on exactly same day, Alex ending up having hers done in Oxford. It's nice to be able to talk/moan/understand someone who's the same age, altho different cancers, still going through a very similar rollercoaster! Six degrees of separation theory couldn't be far truer right now! I headed into the gym tonight to see my team and cover a couple of hours for staff sickness. And on my desk, my incredible team have left me a bag of goodies, Coca Cola lorry PJs, Cosy bed socks, minion items, magazine, chocolate etc etc and an awesome card of meerkats depicting them all, sending me their best wishes etc. Truly touched. Couldn't ask for a better team to keep the gym going, or better better people to be able to call friends. Comments are closed.
