On the 8th day there was light!
After a fairly difficult (but by no means disastrous) seven days the eighth day of the cycle has seen me back to a far better place.
I can taste my food without the all-pervading sense of chemotherapy and my energy levels are more controlled and less volatile. I did a day in the office and it passed without any difficulty.
I am hoping that I am through the worst that the cycle has to offer and can coast through the remaining thirteen days, ready to ramp it up one more time before the build up to the operation.
The last few days have been difficult, not because they were physically difficult, but because there was a desire on my part to stamp normality on the situation as quickly as possible (which can be a tad unrealistic). It ended in an outburst last night and I woke up feeling like a different person.
It's not a good thing to lose your composure, especially as it effects those close to you but a good part of this journey is psychological and I feel a lot lighter on my feet now that I have "Released the Beast".
