It is so nearly there but I think, if I have learned anything from your expertise and wisdom, it is that it needs a spot of spit and polish before I waste your valuable time again.

I know what you mean. I feel alright in myself to carry out basic tasks but I definitely don't have the same ability to focus/ concentrate at the moment which doesn't really lend itself to novel writing/ editing! I'm trying to just stay calm and hope that reality will return before too long. It's only been operations sapping my energy so far but I've been told that the anti-sickness drugs etc. for breast cancer are fantastic now so I'm really hoping I won't be too rocked by the chemo. Time will tell! I have a great TBR pile if I do get sent to my bed :) Thanks for popping by!Jackie Buxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02186723392553752533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233719410107288850.post-81111848331219071232014-02-16T17:26:02.526+00:002014-02-16T17:26:02.526+00:00Hey!

Here's to your friend being fully cured and hopefully being able to put this behind her now/ soon.

That said, I have wandered around hissing that I'm 'sick of it now, would really like to not have cancer any more, thank you,' a few times this week! It looks like I'll be starting chemo at the beginning of March. I can just picture you in Waterstones...!Jackie Buxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02186723392553752533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233719410107288850.post-70929644602157473742014-02-14T12:18:25.541+00:002014-02-14T12:18:25.541+00:00I'm impressed with you managing anything creat...I'm impressed with you managing anything creative at all under the circumstances. While I've managed to keep working and doing all the usual everyday chores etc after thyroid cancer, the treatments (less horrible than chemo but very draining) have left me with little creativity. I find it takes huge reserves of energy - which I just don't have. So well done and keep writing and I wish you all the very best in this journey.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631254646368974136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233719410107288850.post-91676168572851680872014-02-14T09:05:41.283+00:002014-02-14T09:05:41.283+00:00Jackie, I feel bad for not knowing you were going ...Jackie, I feel bad for not knowing you were going through this. I haven't visited your blog for a while, but have interacted with you via Twitter where your tweets remain upbeat and ever giving. My reason for doing less blog visits is my own family fight with cancer. A close loved one who I hope is now coming to the end of her chemo. She's had her surgeries and has just had her sixth and last dose of chemo, so life does leave little time. <br /><br />Coming to the end, as a close loved one and the one who was confided in at the dark moments, I can tell you there is an end. Lean on those close to you. If they tell you to and they're there, I'm saying. - they really mean it. We can't be there if we don't. <br /><br />Sending positive thoughts your way. Loving your positive attitude. It will get you through to the end. It helps. I shall pop by more often xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865863123307699691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233719410107288850.post-38214616745267919832014-02-14T08:20:19.050+00:002014-02-14T08:20:19.050+00:00It's great to hear things are going well, and ...It's great to hear things are going well, and you're staying positive (I'm not naive enough to think you don't have down moments, but even faking being positive can be beneficial). Fingers crossed the chemo gets started - and finished - soon xx<br /><br />I had to laugh at you reading a whole chapter of a book in Waterstones, I do that all the time!Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.com
