First, real life news. I have to do an antibiotic therapy for the next two months. According to my oncologist (who I still consult over normal medical problems, obviously) they're strong stuff, but I'm "young and healthy" so I don't have to worry. That obviously means I haven't done anything but worrying since I talked to him this morning. Way to be a mature person. I even got a bit of a scolding from my therapist on the phone. Anyway by late afternoon I was fed up of wallowing in self-pity, so I got my recipe book out, and tried my hand at making mince pies. Because I needed something sweet and warm and made with my own two hands.




I got the measurements wrong, and the tops were too little. The result is still delicious, it just looks weird. :D



So now I have a stomach full of christmas-y delicious little pies, and I feel a lot better. Even though I'm starting this therapy on sunday, because tomorrow I have a few things to do and an appointment, and I don't want to get there all croggy. I'm feeling positive, not stupid. ^^

And I've been listening to the Guns 'n' Roses a lot these days, because someone pointed out on tumblr that Welcome to the Jungle is the perfect Purgatory song. It definitely is, and I missed listening to them. November Rain was mom's favourite song. ♥

Very often I read your post titles, and they drive me mad because they're familiar, but I can't remember what they're from. This one, I can assure you, I sang in a nasal Axl voice.

I'm torn between hearing his voice or mom's voice when reading it. There were days when she would put the song on loop on the stereo and she went on listening to it for hours until I begged her to stop.

Sembrano deliziose tesoro! (va a nascondersi in un angolo pensando alla pie con la pasta già pronta che ho fatto la scorsa settimana...)

Tuttavia non capisco come la cura da due pillole sia passata a due mesi O__o

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

L'oncologo l'ha cambiata, è un altro farmaco, più tossico ma più adatto ai miei problemi ormonali. Due pillole al giorno per una settimana, pausa di tre settimane, e ripetere.

E speriamo che funzioni!!!

E ovviamente fermenti lattici spero. Quindi questo antibiotico non entra in conflitto con la pillola che prendi, però ti potrebbe creare altri fastidi? (l'accenno al fatto che è più tossico)

Più avanti leggo il foglietto illustrativo, visto che non so se devo prenderli a stomaco pieno o meno. Speriamo bene...
