Sunday 24th March 4th day post 2nd Paclitaxel

1 minute read time.

Slept a bit better lastnight, but still woke up several times during the night. 

The constipation has really hit today, even after all the things I took yesterday. I took more laxido, tried to eat a wholemeal crumpet but couldn't finish it. Even a second cup of tea is making me feel full to bursting. 

Went for my daily walk hoping that it would not only give me some fresh air but also help me to open my bowels. After the walk I felt totally zonked. I had a double strength coffee and some more laxido. Finally I managed to goSlight smile afterwards I took myself off to bed as feeling very low in energy. I had a little bit of sleep, before hubby called me down for steak & kidney with mash and red cabbage. Thank goodness, we have done lots if batch cooking for days like these. 

I will take myself back to bed after my injection and shower tonight. I'm getting some tingling in my fingers this time which I didn't get with the first Paclitaxel. I'm preparing myself for the ankle pains this evening, though, so I will take a codeine in preparation for the pain. 

I have a couple patches on my fingers that are peeling a bit, I will show the district nurse tomorrow.
