Turned the corner...

Well, I think I've turned the corner and am finally departing the 'chemo zone'. Only had a few 'moments' yesterday and have woken up feeling relatively normal today ~ sleeping much better now so that helps. I am now in the 'I have no immune system' zone and will be at risk of infection for the reminder of the week, so I will continue to take things easy and avoid crowded spaces etc. That said I have not left the house since chemo (I'm currently hating that word and feel sick at its very mention!) and it does seem slightly cruel that the day you start to feel better is the day that you absolutely must avoid anyone that is ill at all costs! Ho Hum!
I think I am feeling well enough/ have enough energy to go out soon ... I'm fancying a trip to the garden centre (I know how to live!!!) and as I have just ordered my first ever (mini) greenhouse (growing things is therapeutic) it seems like a good idea. Nothing wildly ambitious - a few sweet peas etc. Any gardening tips greatly appreciated - I am a complete novice... I did attempt to grow tomatoes last year (and the year before that) but they just kind of shriveled and died!!! I'll let you know how it goes.

One more thing - ideas needed when you next text/ email for new things I can do in my life when better- one day the dreaded chemo will be over and my life will get back to normal - although now definitely changed forever - (or, according to Clare - changed back, I quote "don't take this the wrong way but breast cancer is the best thing that ever happened to you! Not that I would wish anyone to go through this, but finally I have my old Terri back”)

I agree - it's taken a while, but if you remember what I said in one of my first posts (The Story So Far - January) I really did lie on my bed, deeply devastated by events of the previous few years and knew that I was at rock bottom and that something had to happen to change my life around. Like I said, I never expected breast cancer to be the answer to my prayers but as I am slowly coming through my battles I can't help but feel brighter days lie ahead. Ideas needed please! Xxx
