I may have made a medical breakthrough?
I find the traditional Chemo hard to stomach with an 8 - 10 day recovery period after each batch. I have decided to be a Guinea pig for a trial, still using the therapy by chemicals concept but this time taking into consideration green issues and NHS cost savings. It is called WAGS, with each letter standing for a drug:
W - Wine - Red in colour but this does not make you pee pink. Grown using natural ingredients and no fertilisers - how green!
A - Ale - Locally produced using water and hops from the peninnes. Good for the local economy.
G - Guinness - Purely medicinal? Good for the red blood cell count and bowel issues! Transported in from Ireland and made from the pure water of the River Liffe!
S - Spirits - Either Scottish or Russian in origin depending on availability. Both naturally produced.
The recovery time after treatment is approximately half a day and can be controlled by using over the counter anti sickness and paracetamol products, cutting the cost to the NHS by millions and saving on the green house gasses produced by the drug manufactures. (Think the real chemo is having strange side effects on my mind!!!!!!!) Not sure on the long term results of my study but I am going to have a great time finding out and the real plus is that friends and family can join in! With the small exception of it possibly not getting rid of the cancer, I think this is a winner for all!
Appreciate your comments and if you want to join in let me know.
Thanks

Hello Chris, Your sister in law Rachael speaking!! Im not one for face to face words, but, Just wanted to say how very, very proud of you I am, your courage and bravery is an inspiration to me and the family. Keep going, you can do it!! And one day soon, we will look back, we wont believe what has happened, but we will accept it, and we can all learn and make a difference to our lives from what we are learning now. xx
Stay strong, you are doing brill xx
Your social life
During chemotherapy you may not always be able to do the things you take for granted. But you don't need to stop your social life completely. There's no reason to stop going out or visiting friends. You may just find you need to plan ahead a bit more.
Suggestion
If you're going out at night it can help to get
some rest during the day. You'll have more energy for the evening.
If you want to go out for a meal you can take some anti-sickness pills before you go
if you think you need to. Drinking a little alcohol probably won't affect your chemotherapy.
But check with your doctor before you drink.
