She's done way more than that sorry. And she isn't going to get better.but at this point you have to take responsibility and choose what you can or should be doing to give your body the best chance at the chemo working at all. Because this chemo has given her years of life up to now. But she won't give it a chance if she doesn't let her body be at the best it can be.if she wants to go donit all fine. But that WILL be at the expense of time left if her body then can't be strong enough for that life extending chemo to either have or work effectively.I'm aware of what chemo is and how it affects the body.
Nicky did some yoga in the garden, went to a hotel and stayed overnight, went to a beach hut for breakfast.
You specifically said, its like being given a new liver and going out the same night?
Nicky is having palliative chemo, she isnt going to get better, things will only get worse. I don't blame her for going out at all, it wont be long until she is unable to go out.
I get the grabby freebie stuff, the ads, the posing and playing on sympathy, but I don't get the whole exhausting herself on purpose. The majority of her time is spent indoors in her pyjamas.
Nicky has exhausted all her treatment options, at this stage she isn't going to have strength.

You always word it so much better than me.xxi mean, she also went to a party with loads of people, and spent time on a jaunt around whatever town she was in, going in amusement arcades etc - and that was only the last few days - she is constantly on trips and attending events etc. i certainly wouldn't say she spends the majority of her time at home or resting in pyjamas - she has done far more in the last few months in terms of trips and hotel stays and events and meals out than I have in the past year! and sure, it's totally her choice - but equally, it's the feigned surprise and confusion when she's tired or feeling nauseous/generally unwell or when her blood results aren't great, claiming she has no idea why she feels that way. ofc she's going to feel rough when she isn't eating a decent amount and is pushing her body in terms of energy reserves etc when it needs to rest - or, if she doesn't want to rest, and would rather spend her time doing stuff, there is no need for the repeated reaction of surprise when she is then tired and in pain as a result - or the repeated *realisation* that she has overdone it/pushed her body too much - as though she doesn't have that realisation every few days!
if she's choosing to prioritise spending time with friends and spending her time on day trips/weekend breaks etc, that's entirely her decision - but just be honest about it, rather than all the "i don't know what's wrong!" and using mobility aids as photo props and sharing her symptoms as though she is able to turn them on and off in terms of levels of pain/exhaustion so they don’t inconvenience her and only affect her when she's home and doesn't have any other content.![]()
