Saturday 5th
Decent nights sleep however Cliff in the next bed did not sleep at all being doubled up with stomach pains. He's very quiet and obviously tired this morning. I managed to show him how to adjust his bed so that he could sleep whilst sat up.
The only side effect noticed this morning has been in my throat drinking my fresh cold water feeling like I'm drinking broken glass so you can imagine what effect the ice-cream had at lunch all a result of the Oxilaplatin.
My second bag of 5-FU went on at 6.30pm so should be complete for 5.30pm tomorrow so hopefully I will be off home by 6.30. Feeling slightly sickly this evening but I think it is more indigestion through inactivity than chemo induced
On final note I am definitely missing my early morning cuddle which would have been with Graham tomorrow morning since we should have gone to Glencoe today for the start of the annual JB's trip. I'll doubly make up for it on Monday morning though with our Sue but a threesome with Bob is still out of the question. Ah well a snuggle with the missus will do nicely thank-you.
