Well after 10hours Im home.
I never thought it was going to be that long a day 10hours of being filled up with 7.5ltres of drugs.
I arrived at 8.30 and they started on me straight away, bags of fluid 2 hrs at a time, flush’s and duretics, anti sickness fluid and then the first Chemo then flush’s then the second Chemo and more flush’s.
I read my book and then the paper, I played my Ipod, a lovely dinner was welcomed Jacket Potatoe and cheese followed by Icecream –believe me hospital food has come up in the world.
Lots of coffee was served but of coarse fluids have to be passed and you have to do that in a bowl that measures it all. (not very lady like is it)
The nurse has worked out I have to pass 4ltres tonight so looks like I will be up all night running to the bathroom.
I have been chatting to the other patients as well, so many have stories to tell about their own nasty in side them.
Well Ray came and picked me up and it was lovely to get home and just had a supper and will get an early night as Im shattered but at least we will know just what to expect in 21 days time for Chemo day2
Day 2
October 15, 2009
Well its 4am and Im awake.
I have visited the loo twice so far, I knew that would happen didnt I, But when I walk around Im wobberly and feel very week.
I have just looked up side affects and found this is the Pemetrexed (Alimta) side affect and that I must allow plenty of rest –so that is what I will do, I know when Im beaten.
I have felt very sick but not been sick that is the side affects of both the Chemo’s Pemetrexed and the Cisplatin so thats Ok.
No other side affects so far but I can feel a knudging pain in the area of the Tumour –does it mean already it is struggling with the war these two Chemo’s are attacking it with –I would love to think so.
A good thing is my arm is nowhere near so painful and so I think the Steriods Im taking could be a good affect.
Well day 2 is before me so I will keep the blog going daily to record my progress through this 6 x 21 days and so I will be able to compare the results each time.
Im now in a battle for my reprieve.
