My Unplanned Sabbatical

A journey with follicular lymphoma

One month out

Not a lot to update on. Every day is slightly better than before. I still experience periods of fatigue at some stage each day that require me to stop for a while and assume the horizontal position.

If I over exercise this is worse, no real surprise there.

Over one month has passed since my last chemo and it’s wonderful that I am not psyching myself up for another couple of bags. So pleased its not happening again.

The last couple of evenings, including today, I experience that awful sickly sweet, yet metallic chemo taste at the back of my throat. I can also smell it it my room. This is very weird as its not possible, yet this is what I am sensing. I cannot explain it. I assume it is a mental association of some sort or Petra is spiking my stir fry with Bendamustine! Who knows.

Doing a little more work this week which is a pleasant change.

There have been calls for more Mika shots, so here is one more of the killer dog sleeping on her back. This reincarnation concept may be worth buying into!

One thought on “One month out

  1. Have you eaten pine nuts at all in the last few days. If so, the metallic taste may be from “pine mouth”, caused by certain Chinese pine nuts which are not meant to be used. Horrible affliction, ruins red wine, and takes about 8 days to pass.
