Whoops, got a little busy this last week or so and my idea of updating this blog on a regular basis seems to have gone by the wayside! I am still at work and still having a fairly normal lifestyle at the moment. I have heard a couple of mutterings about it getting harder and more tiring after the third treatment but we'll see. That's next Thursday so I'll get on with the bank holiday weekend and worry about it next week! Worst thing this time round really has been the onset of the infamous chemically taste and woolly mouth syndrome. Bleurgh. Red wine - not good. I did wonder whether I should have had an ice lolly like I did this first time when I got home, so I'll try that next week and see what happens.
The chemically taste seemed to stop after about 10 days though to be fair. I was on gastro drugs as well due to getting an indigestiony thingy feeling the first time, which worked cos I didn't really suffer with that again. The funny taste stopped when I stopped the drug - coincidence? Who knows? The doc will no doubt get a full synopsis next week.
Have been on the phone lots today. I am scheduled for a Groshong line (anyone had one of these, what's it like, and more importantly does it hurt going in or coming out?) but no one's contacted me about this, so I rang and the nice nurse said she'd sort it out and ring me back. Nowt. Sigh... I'll be back on the phone next Tuesday then. I work in a Complaints dept and the complaints person in there was ringing people back even if she couldn't give any updates...wish my hospital would do the same...
Still, bank holiday coming up so hope all who are reading this have a good one!!
