As I applied moisturiser to my body before bedtime in an attempt to quell the rising itchiness I have been experiencing over the last few nights (which has again been destroying my sleep) I noticed in the mirror just how emaciated I look. Concentration camp.
It scared me.
I'm eating more each meal than I was a week ago. Jules is still trying to fatten me. Part of the fear comes from that stage of cancer where it eats up every bit of muscle in your body. I know I lost about 5kgs going through my latest saga, but I'm hoping like hell I can put some weight back on.
I'm also thinking of increasing my painkiller dose at nighttime back to 20mg to see if that has any bearing on the itchiness.
Troublesome times.
the road forward,
