Third treatment and beyond

The accumulated effect is really taking hold. Not that I have been or felt sick as such I have had other digestion issues. They say about constipation and diarrhoea but to happen one after the other in a couple hours is the strangest of things. Once one has clears then the other comes with vengeance and also keeps me up in the middle of the night. I am now up to at least 3 months of not sleeping a whole night through.
As soon as the house starts waking up, that is my husband makes his way to the shower room I am awake and then dose until he either leaves or within an hour of his departure, at 06:30 is a little early if you at home all day. Then I go to bed and still can not settle properly, either knowing which side to best sleep on or just to get comfortable.
I have taken to having the laptop on and watching catch up TV or listening to iTunes on shuffle (which can come up with some surprising selections.) I have blogged on this already and some of the other things that I have been doing, but when you can not get comfortable or are very tired it takes on a whole new meaning.
I am thankful for people posting things on Facebook or emailing me just to break up my thoughts, which this time round have been very depressing. It does not help that my neighbour is now going for an operation - I wish her well and will be there for her as she has been there for me. I have been close to tears but this time I have actually spilt some, which is not me. I don't want to be like this and have tried to be 'brave' for everyone but sometimes it is just a step beyond what I can do alone.
I will not be able to talk to my mom and pops for the next couple of weeks, they are going on a cruise round South East Asia, I think this will be a strange thing as I have enjoyed being able to switch on my computer and within a couple of minutes my Skype rings and I have a chat with mom, either face to face or just voice. Either way it has been useful to know that they are there.
Well I have rounded the corner and will have a weekend to do stuff and full packed two weeks which I am sure will make for interesting blogging. I have lunches planned, days out, the theatre, visits from colleagues and of course more time to play on my computer.
