		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit I was feeling ratty. We had a fairly quiet weekend, during which I did feel a bit tired, but then the less you do, the more likely you are to feel lethargic, regardless of whether you happen to be undergoing treatment for breast cancer or not. On Saturday, Martin decided to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I dutifully listened to the list of potential side effects from this latest chemo drug, Taxol, then parked it. I don&#8217;t do side effects! It&#8217;s all too easy to start imagining them but far better to tell yourself you&#8217;re just not going to have them and that&#8217;s that! So far, so good. Since my treatment [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We had to be in Harley Street for 11am for my echocardiogram. I needed this to check my heart prior to starting a new drug, Taxol. Lou and Bev had unquestioningly offered to accompany me again and as my sister won&#8217;t use the tube they drove to me and arrived at 8.45. We got the [...]]]></description>

Even on the very rare occasion when you received a card, you didn&#8217;t know who it was from and could only guess that it must be that geek who you&#8217;d accidentally talked to once [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m having a little battle with myself at the moment. Next week I start the next lot of four chemo treatments. The first four have gone really well considering. There is no real reason that the second four should not. But it&#8217;s a different drug (the first was AC and the next will be Taxol) [...]]]></description>

That&#8217;s what really matters. Tuesday, as I&#8217;ve mentioned in a previous post, was a tired day spent at home. Wednesday and Thursday, I went [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Had my fourth chemo session on Monday. That was the last of the drug AC. The next four will be a different drug, Paclitaxel, or Taxol. So far, so good. I&#8217;ve had the odd day of feeling a bit tired, but nothing drastic. This week, Tuesday, the day after chemo, I did feel quite sleepy. [...]]]></description>

I just can&#8217;t let myself think about anything other than positive outcomes. And it would be pretty miserable to be sitting around feeling sorry for myself. Fortunately, there is a wonderfully virtuous circle [...]]]></description>
