Only yesterday morning I felt weary and sore and miserable. I’d felt like that for weeks.

I was keen to talk to the medical oncologist about pain management. She upped the pain killers I’m taking.

I can’t believe how big a change this has made in just 24 hours. I feel like I’m a different person. Alert, awake, doing useful things, not hurting at all. Not weary, not sore, not miserable.

I didn’t realize how much the pain was getting me down.
