Well that last chemo agent does what it says on the tin, I think my body is trying to put me into low earth orbit by the force of its own reactions at both ends, take a heavy night out combined with the worst food poisioning you have had and thats were I was this morning.
Things are improving a bit as the day passes, headache succumbed to a mix of painkillers and stomach has held on to a bit of lasagna for an hour so thats an improvement on earlier attempts. My body is reacting like it has been poisioned and is not letting me eat any more to keep the source of the poision away - bodies not being programmed to understand hickman lines understandably.
The weather here is beautiful, blue sky and warm, so that leads to nice views which cheer me up as I pace up and down in my cadge, I try to walk a little bit between sleeps to help the metabolism and distribution of the chemo so I can get clear of it. This also means drinking a lot of water, judging the rate to avoid the onset of hiccups which is a prelude to being ill. Lee came in to visit and cheer me up, which she managed as usual, despite having to juggle work, kids and normal life while I am in here. My circle of concentration is pretty small at the moment so passive listening to the radio has been the extent of activities.
So things going as expected, my last chemo is done, stem cells back tomorrow, a rough week or so ahead, but then on its all recovery, which is a nice thought.
Cheers
Gerry
