Thursday 22nd July 2004
I started with the shits last night at about 12:00pm and spent most of the night on the toilet. These lasted all day, I even managed to shit myself on the way home in the hospital transport. These symptoms, they tell me are nothing to do with my treatment. They weighed me and it seems I have lost 1.5 stone since my neck operation. They tell me I need to eat. Saying that is ok, but I just can't!

I have now started to be sick as well as having the shits. I am really depressed now and don't know where or what to do about it. I have only had three treatments and have 20 left to go. So I don't know if I will be strong enough to last that long. Really thinking of ending it now. I would just like to go to sleep and not wake up. Maybe I chose the wrong path at the start when I had the chance not to have any treatment at all.
