A very brief entry to say that I had the first chemo treatment yesterday. They tried the port again to see if it was working. It seems to be and the oncologist thinks it was probably a needling error rather than equipment failure. However, it was decided yesterday to give it a rest and use a cannula.
Cold caps were horrendous this time – I was a wimp with that. Drugs went through okay but made me feel very sick by the end – had to have extra-medication.
I’ve spent most of today on the couch or in bed, trying to ensure I keep up the fluid intake. Very flat.
hope you are feeling a bit better today. i can’t imagine how it would feel. some take it quite well so I believe, but others feel quite sick with chemo. thanks for keeping us posted. your blog is a great idea for us to keep track of how you are going. look after yourself as best you can in the circumstances and I hope we can catch up with you soon (once you feel better). xxxxx
