eventually today after waiting for 6 hours I got my 5fu pump , which will be my 3rd back on, will just need to keep note of any similar symptoms to the ones that made me so uunwell last week. have also found out I'm allergic to the chlorhexidine solution they use to clean the area around my picc line. I'm trying to look on the chemo as a friend despite all the side effects
Now my hair is shaved off its much easier to use my new wig, didn't think I could go through with getting it off in one go, but katie my hairdresser has been so supportive since my diagnosis. So from now on the ash blonde will be the norm.need to get some pictures of the new me.
