Well it's chemo 5 on Wednesday and apart from the tiredness things have not been too bad, the numbness in hands and feet hasn't worsened since the first cycle so I must not complain too much. In a moment of what i can only describe as chemo brain madness I managed to drown my pc ... I spilt a hot cup of tea over it and it spluttered and died.

The driving is still going on and my very brave…

Only had a short wait at the chemo unit and .. joy of joys... cannula went in first attempt! No steroids needed, no anti-sickness meds given, so should be able to sleep tonight.
