I woke up at 4.45am today :( so the Nytol didn't really work for me last night.
Before hitting the M1, I finished sewing Mariella's new top before me and mum popped into MK to visit the market .... Some lovely (cheap) fabric and ribbons etc purchased.
After nodding off in the waiting room during the 20 min delay the treatment was fine. In terms of how I am feeling after 9 treatments ......
My inside cheek is still increasingly sore - I am using Gelclair to try and support the inevitable ulcers.
The skin on my neck, particularly around my op site, is feeling stretched and tender so I am using lots of aqueous cream. Also taking paracetamol (and this evening ibuprofen) seems to offer some relief. Consequently, I have been relatively pain-free although only with pain relief.
Fatigue? This hasn't kicked in yet ...... I nodded off because I lacked sleep, but I didn't experience fatigue today (and I know what I am looking for due to my experience with MS fatigue.
I am still banning hot food and drinks, but have started to discover the lovely cold drinks that can be bought in coffee shops and cafes ...... Banana milkshake, strawberry and cream iced drink etc. (I will see what other high fat lovely cold drinks I can find tomorrow).
So, onto day 10 we go.

The milkshakes sound lovely hun :-) The RT and chemo made me a bit lactose intolerant, but four months on I have started to reintroduce it into my diet and so far so good. Have a good week end and catch up on your sleep! Love to you xxx
Hello Bron ... you are doing well so keep up with your mouth and skin care. Do ask about stronger painkillers should you need them as the treatments continue - no prizes for pain. Oh those milkshakes sounds rather delicious, so enjoy !
